Tantre CSA & Sleeping Children!

I decided to try a new farm for our CSA (community supported agriculture) this year. For really no good reason other than I just like to try new things! I have to say after the first two weeks of goodies from Tantre Farm I think I have found a farm that I can stick with. The main reason and yes I will admit it.... I think I'm becoming a bit of a CSA princess..... they have everything in a lovely box relatively clean and ready to go! No sifting through boxes of different veggies covered in dirt that have all been squished on there way from the farm. Oh and so far their produce is GREAT! The only draw back is they don't offer eggs or honey which I had from previous CSA's. But no worry there is always a work around. I will get into my CSA addiction later:)

This weeks share included lots of the usual bounty from early in the season, lots of greens, radishes, garlic scapes and scallions. It is always a challenge to figure out ways to feed it to my family. Luckily my dear husband is happy to eat LOTS of difficult to identify cooking greens....thanks honey!

For the first time in well over a year all three boys took a nap at the same time for over an hour..... HEAVEN! So I had time to turn my veggies into something yummy. Thanks to a good friends inspiration I made a spinach and cheddar frittata and a strawberry, radish salad.

For the frittata I used eggs and cheese from Old Pine Farm, milk and butter from Calder Dairy, along with chives, garlic scapes, and spinach! 100% local and nothing from the grocery store!

The salad was made with strawberries, white hakurei turnips, tatsoi, radishes, lettuce and topped with balsamic vinaigrette. YUM!

By the end of the evening the frittata was gone thanks to the adults, J, and R ate a bit. Not surprising C wasn't having any of it. He chose peas, strawberries and an uncured hotdog for dinner.... Overall a good week from the CSA. I am looking forward to the rest of the summers culinary adventures. I also need to figure out how to take better pictures of food. These pictures look like something from a 1970's family restaurant menu....
