What a spread this CSA membership is capable of! It was very exciting to see all of our veggies put to use in the dishes presented at the end of the season potluck and we're so thankful for the opportunity to share in your food and company. We were so glad that many of you were able to make it, and wished everyone else could have come as well.

| End of the Season Potluck! |
This season has been a wonderful learning opportunity, both for the students, campers and volunteers who lent us their time and enthusiasm, but also for us farmers. I hope to never claim myself as a farming expert as there is always something new to learn, and that I did. I learned how wacky the weather here in the Willamette Valley can be, the satisfaction of crushing slugs underfoot, how sweet frost-kissed carrots are, the pitch of a squeal that plump, ripe raspberries can excite out of a summer camper and how genuinely wonderful it is to provide a neighborhood and group of community members with fresh and local foods to fill their friends and families bellies.
The final share will include:
- Scallions
- Peppers
- Chard
- Beets
- Leeks
- Pumpkin
- Onion
- Garlic
- Salad Greens
- Pak Choi
- Rutabaga
- Delicata Squash
- Radish
If you're interested in a CSA membership for next season, please forward any questions you may have to Michaela at michaelah@nwyouthcorps.org.
Many well wishes for a warm and feast filled holiday season. Happy eating everyone!
