I was in Northfield Minnesota today spending the day with my friend Amanda. She is involved with an organic Community Supported Farm; they harvest every Monday and Thursday and bring the shares into town.
I helped this afternoon and it was amazing! The process, the art, and the outcome of this food is beautiful. So much time and labor is put into growing and farming the land.
The concept of a Community Supported Farm is wonderful and something I believe in strongly. In the future I hope to be a part of something like the farm I visited today.
All of the food in the photographs (plus much more) I got to bring home with me! Yummy!
Onions.
Beets.
Squash.
Broccoli.
Potatoes.

I love organic veggies AND Northfield! Sounds perfect!
I would like to be a part of a farm like this too, it sounds so rewarding! How nice that you got to have a good time with your friend and got veggies out the deal too!
Yummy! I would love to visit/be part of this place!!
I have a friend who lives on an organic farm, but it's organically grown meat, and hence, not always as peaceful.
