Local Foods/CSA

Hello!!!! Long time….trying to get back into blogging now that my stress level from shelter-in-place and the pandemic is lower, and I have my summer off from work. This is what I posted on my blog’s IG page. 😊

So my plan to support local businesses during the pandemic leaned heavily on supporting local food sources. So I bought a share in Rolling Prairie Farmer’s Alliance CSA. I pick up my weekly bundle of locally grown veggies and a dozen eggs on Monday afternoons. I love seeing the different assortments each week and figuring out what to cook with them. I try to buy meat at either Steve’s Meat Market in DeSoto and Leeway Butchers here in Lawrence, KS. This week I made a stir fry out of my CSA veggies, which included Bok Choy, broccoli, carrots and mushrooms with a simple homemade stir fry sauce. I used chicken I got from Steve’s and served it over brown rice. Bok Choy is like a superfood….it is very nutrient-dense. I’ve gotten Bok Choy 3 times in the last month and made different things with it, but this stir fry is my favorite so far. #localfood #veggies #healthymeals #buylocal #communitysupportedagriculture
