Blog for the New Earth Farm CSA in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
What is a CSA?
"CSA" stands for "community supported agriculture". Members of the community pay at the start of the season for a share of the produce of a local farm. In our case, the season runs for 20 weeks, and most members come to the farm itself to pick up their share each week.

ReplyDeleteKale Banana Smoothie:
Put 1 banana, 2 cups chopped kale, 1 tsp maple syrup, 1-2 tbsp flaxseeds (optional) and 1/2 cup brown rice milk into a blender and blend! (I like to add a few ice cubes for summertime refreshment).
It will take a few minutes for everything to puree so be patient. It ends up being a lovely vibrant green colour - very fresh and uplifting!
Hi, Kale Lovers,
ReplyDeleteLast week, James Reed told us that they tried roasted kale and loved it! Great Idea!
The darker kale is a bit tougher in the summer time- so if you do saute it, give it a little more time than the curly cousin.
