A Visit to the Farm


This summer, we again joined the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program at the Green Earth Institute in Naperville, IL. Unlike last year, we opted for the bi-weekly share, so we were a little less overwhelmed by the amazing abundance of produce and could keep up with it a little more.

Every-other-week, we picked up a share of the produce at a pick-up site in Lombard. There were also a few opportunities to go to the farm to participate in some U-pick events, so 2 weeks ago we packed a picnic dinner and headed over. It was so fun!

We had a chance to gather cherry tomatoes, green beans, and basil. It was great! Here are some photos of the fun.
