How long have you been farming (at CSF & in total)
Since 2012 and just one year at Camas Swale.
Why did you want to work on a farm/ What do you love about farming?
I had some really positive experiences on farms in my childhood and so when I went to a college that had a farm, I thought I would try it out. What I love about farming is working outside, chatting with friends, growing and eating delicious food, and feeling connected to nature.
What is your favorite crop to harvest and why?
I really like bunching beets because they’re so robust and beautiful.
What are some delicious things you’ve been cooking lately with the farm produce?
Lately I’ve been eating a lot of roasted things as we get into colder weather. I’m roasting a lot of roots and squash and learning about how to incorporate those ingredients.
Which wildlife sightings do you love most on the farm? (plant, animal, or otherwise).
Frogs and toads!
What is your hidden talent/biggest hobby outside of farming?
I think it is sewing and embroidery.
If you were a vegetable, which one would you be and why?
Onions because they’re versatile.
Easy Roasted Carrots and Cauliflower
Serves: 4From Lauren Fit Foodie
small head cauliflower (540g) chopped into florets
1/2 medium onion (110g) yellow or red, thinly sliced
3 carrots (280g) sliced
1 Tbsp olive oil (15g)
1 tsp of each: salt onion powder, garlic powder
1/2 tsp of each: black pepper smoked paprika
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Prepare the veggies by washing and cutting them.
Add veggies to the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Generously spray the veggies with cooking spray (this will help the seasoning stick) and add the seasonings. Toss the veggies around with a wooden spoon to evenly coat.
Bake for 30 minutes or until roasted to liking.
4 Ingredient Butternut Squash Chocolate Pie
The original recipe was in an Instagram post I noticed last year. I had to track it down. We made this with our kids and it was a hit for all. Now our 8 year old can make this independently-- an extra treat.
Crust
1 1/4 cup Graham Crackers, a full sleeve plus 2 sheets
1/4 cup Ghee, or butter, melted
Filling
2 cup Butternut Squash, cooked and mashed
1 cup Dark Chocolate, melted
1/3 cup Peanut Butter
1 pinch Sea Salt
Grind graham crackers until they are fine and mix with melted butter (should resemble sand). Press into a small glass pie dish and refrigerate for 30-60 min until set.
Blend all of the filling ingredients together (you will need a tamper) and pour over the crust and smooth it out with a spoon. Store in fridge for at least 3 hours before cutting and digging in!

ABOUT PICKING UP YOUR CSA
Bring your own bag. Pick up at your pick up location and day (Wednesday or Friday) from 12-6pm. If you ordered an add-on, it will be packed in a separate labeled tote.
HOW TO PICK UP YOUR CSA
#1: Sign-in! the golden rule
Find & Sign-off your name on the sign-in sheet each week and please ONLY take the items listed next to your name.
This vital step helps ensure everyone goes home happy, including our site hosts and farmers, week after week.
#2: Locate your shares
Shares are all the same for the Spring CSA. Shares are labeled as Small or Full for Summer CSA. Summer Salad Lover Add-on shares are in a large tote labeled "Salad Add-ons" (Summer only).
#3: Unpack your tote & stack the empties
Please bring your own reusable shopping bag to transport your items - we’ll pick the totes up next week for reuse! We can use them for multiple seasons, reducing waste one box at a time.
USING THE WEEKLY SWAP BOX?
Swap boxes are green with flowers painted on them. Swap boxes are labeled and will stand out! If your pick up site has a swap box, please feel free to swap an item you may not want in your box with an item in the provided and specifically-labeled SWAP BOX. Please limit the swaps to one item for one item per week.
UNABLE TO FIND AN ITEM?
(Please do not supplement it with something else!) Contact the farm directly before taking something else. The sooner you reach out the sooner your item may be located.
SOMEONE ELSE PICKING UP FOR YOU?
(Please share all the details of how to pick up with them BEFORE they attempt to pick up -- BYO bag, take from the right size box, check off the right name). Friends and family picking up for others is the number one cause of pickup mistakes, and we thank you in advance for your consideration.
CSA FAQS PAGE

REDEEMING YOUR VACATION CREDIT
Go to our Online Store to see what our availability is for add-ons this week and to double check the value of your credit. You'll need to login to see your credit amount.
