First Veg Box is Here!



Exciting happenings today! My first veg box was delivered early this morning from River Swale farms. It was a mini-veg box and contained parsnips (3), mushrooms (gorgeous!!! about 6), potatoes (5), onions (4), carrots (4), and a stalk of Brussels Sprouts, which I love! I also ordered a block of parmigiano reggiano, which they get from a sister farm in Parma, Italy; a 2L thing of milk, which they get from a dairy that treats their cows right; and some salad greens that are grown on the farm, only under poly-tunnels.

I feel pretty good about it, since there is no spot for me to grow anything but some herbs on the windowsill here at the house (I do have Basil and Parsley flourishing). Everything looks really nice, and I'm excited to get cooking!

That's a lovely looking veg box! Except for the sprouts, it's all things that we'd eat - we've been pondering veg boxes, but are worried about having no control over the choice of veg and winding up with loads of things that neither of us like. Maybe it's time to think again!
