I think a CSA from a really unique farm would be a wonderful experience. The one that we were members of is too large - they supplied the entire state and represented many different farms. <br />I can only imagine what the Thai farmer's markets are like! Being introduced to all of the new produce must be wild & difficult to not get the staples you are used to.<br />Thank you for following - hopefully some of the posts can remind you of home!Lara B Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285084733319245239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065783302963905397.post-32062384772641111012010-09-05T20:37:54.753-05:002010-09-05T20:37:54.753-05:00I've been curious about CSAs for a while.

I do get bored pretty fast, and you'd have to get very, very creative to find new ways to use the ingredients you were getting. I always wondered if the variety would be enough for me. <br /><br />If you've got a 7 days a week farmer's market nearby, that seems the obvious choice. Living in Thailand, that's exactly what we have downtown! It goes all day and all night. It's really quite wonderful. But it isn't the same as one back home in the states. There's no cheese, no milk, no yogurt, no dairy products of any kind, no wine, and no honey. <br /><br />I can't speak Thai well enough to really communicate with the farmers. Also, meat is limited. There's usually one farmer there butchering a pig on the spot and handing out cuts of it. The one thing there is tons of is fruit. More kinds of fruit than I knew existed. And there is also ready made curry paste of every description imaginable. Win some, lose some. But I still miss my farmer's market cheese and honey!Daniel Binghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759184238017335138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065783302963905397.post-85064552415614771012010-09-04T16:48:46.575-05:002010-09-04T16:48:46.575-05:00We would have so much fun - must plan!!!We would have so much fun - must plan!!!Lara B Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285084733319245239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065783302963905397.post-66503714930047342722010-09-04T16:46:06.829-05:002010-09-04T16:46:06.829-05:00I can't wait to get back to Montgomery to go v...I can't wait to get back to Montgomery to go visit the Farmer's Market now!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459902493505613869noreply@blogger.com
