I am excited to teach my son about fruits and veggies this summer. Together, we'll walk to the main street to pick up the CSA delivery, prepare and then savor the boxes of treats all week. He'll learn about different kinds of foods, taste new flavors and we'll spend some quality time together.
Ok, so he'll only be celebrating his one year birthday in May, so his focus is likely to be on the eating (and schmearing and throwing?) the colorful foods.
We participated in this same CSA, the Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative, before I was pregnant and really loved it. Sometimes it was a little stressful to figure out what to do with new veggies (admittedly, that was the first I'd heard of garlic scapes), but we learned a lot and ate some delicious meals. I couldn't fathom having anything "extra" to do last year with a new baby, so we took some time off last summer.
Since he has been tasting, and generally enjoying, all kinds of foods, from bananas to ricotta to quinoa cereal, it should be a healthy family adventure.
