I’m off to Central Oregon Locavore to deliver produce that’s been ordered online. Every other Thursday is pick-up day. I think it’s a great system for both producers and consumers. The advantage for producers is that they simply list what they have, in what quantities; there are no specific commitments, no need to have someone staffing the farmer’s markets instead of working on the farm. For consumers, they order only what they want from more than 100 different local producers, unlike in a CSA where you don’t know in advance what the weekly box from the producer will contain and may find you get vegetables you don’t like or don’t know how to cook.

We’re getting a late start

Because of sub-freezing nights last week, we had to delay planting starts of tender veggies until yesterday. So it was a long day of planting tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, basil. In August, we’ll reap the rewards.
