"Beets" a.k.a. Eating Local

When we talk about the CSA we are members of, we're often asked, "What do you do with a bushel full of vegetables every week?" Well, beets were in abundance this week, and I thought I'd show what we DO with our veggies--we EAT them!! Do we get sick of them...sure after a few weeks. By then we've pickled or frozen them, and we're on to the next crop (fresh tomatoes anyone?)


Beet munching, before dinner even had a chance to start.


Zach, enjoying fresh sliced, raw beets.

Payge shows her delight after trying a beet, and watching her silly siblings doing the same.

Show me your purple!

Breakfast during beet season: steamed beet greens, fried eggs, corn bread.

The UGLY carrot. The only one though...the others were beautiful--and eaten.
