CSA Summer

This summer was our first time being Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) members.  We joined VegetableLand and have been enjoying weekly shares of nutritious organic food.  I recommend giving it a try if you love veggies and are willing to give random produce a chance!  I love going each week and seeing what is in my bag of goodies!  I'm not sure if we will do it again simply because we hope to have our very own garden up and running...que to excited squeal with a side of fingers crossed:)  Here are some picture of what we got this summer...

Bulky Food

Johnny and I came to my parents house today to celebrate my dad's birthday (a little belated) & to watch UK play ball. Yes, they won! Mom and I decided to take a little journey down to a local bulk food store that we have been visiting since I can remember. It's Yoder Bulk Foods in Sebree, KY. There is a sweet husband/wife duo who run this little shop. My very favorite thing to buy there is the cheese;) yummy. O and their yogurt covered pretzels and raisins, I just can't resist them;) I also really enjoy their hand wrapped packaging. Mom treated me to a pretty handkerchief. If you are from this area you should drop by their little store and pick up some goodies. They have spices, pastas, nuts, cheeses & much more! Don't forget your cash bc that's all they accept;)
Happy Shopping!
Love, T
