Earlier in the week I mentioned that I finally have access to a local farm harvest delivery service (localfarmok.com) – I received my first delivery last Friday and I am in love.
Here’s what I got for $26:
Celery, lettuce, broccoli, portobello mushrooms, potatoes, blueberries, pears, mandarin oranges, and also not shown are 3 cucumbers that I gave to my boss because cucumbers are the devil’s vegetable. I felt like that was quite a bit of produce for the money and can I just say that the taste of this produce…THE TASTE…I swoon over how good it all tasted. It was all so delicious.
How I felt all week:
And this is a sample of what I made with all my delicious farm fresh goodies:
The first one is an egg scramble with peppers and onions with a sprinkle of cheese topped with avocado on top of a portobello mushroom. The second is a sheet pan dinner with turkey smoked sausage, broccoli, onions, and red & baby potatoes. I’ve also been eating salads all week with the lettuce. I think I’ve used up everything except the celery, which I keep forgetting to wash and chop. Maybe I’ll do that tonight.
I signed up for every other week delivery, but I’m thinking I might go ahead and sign up for the weekly delivery because I used up everything quicker than I thought I would. When you’re as health conscious as I am, you need to have a steady flow of produce coming your way. There can never be too much kale.
I don’t think he believes me.

This post made me laugh AND smile. When I saw the picture of what you got, I was jealous of that beautiful celery, and I wondered if you would actually eat it! Also, I totally agree with you about cucumbers.
Celery is…okay…I guess…I mean I’ll eat it before I’ll eat cucumbers. Most likely what will happen is that I’ll chop it up and put it in the freezer to use in recipes. Unless it just happens to be the most amazing celery in the history of the world, which I doubt.
