I went down to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.farmers-market.org\/\">Olympia Farmers Market<\/a>. It was a beautiful day to be downtown. The market was full of venders and patrons. I wandered around for awhile peeking at all the different booths before finding the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boistfortvalleyfarm.com\/\">Boistfort Valley Farm<\/a> booth. There I picked up my box. <\/p>\n<p>This weeks shipment had carrots, beets, easter egg radishes, shunkyo radishes, artichokes, fresh garlic, brunia lettuce, winter desity lettuce, strawberries, and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I&#8217;ve already nibbled on quite a few of the strawberries and will be making a salad for our dinner tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh garlic, carrots, and shunkyo radishes. I love the little radishes you get at the grocery store and can&#8217;t wait to try two new types.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/CSA004.jpg\" title=\"Fresh garlic, carrots, and shunkyo radishes.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/thumb-CSA004.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" alt=\"Fresh garlic, arrots, and shunkyo radishes.\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Artichokes, easter egg radishes, and beets. I adore artichokes, if there had been more than two in the box I would have had one for lunch today. Instead I&#8217;ll cook them tomorrow night. I&#8217;ve only ever had pickled beets, which I like but I think Ryan would hate. I think I might make the steamed beets recipe that came with the veggies to go along with our salad tonight.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/CSA005.jpg\" title=\"Artichokes, Easter Egg Radishes, and Beets\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/thumb-CSA005.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Artichokes, easter egg radishes, and beets\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I love bouquets of flowers. My Mom, a wonderful gardener, always had fresh flowers in the house.  I&#8217;ve really missed that.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/CSA008.jpg\" title=\"Flowers\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/thumb-CSA008.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Flowers\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hopefully my Mom will be visiting next week and we can lunch at the Farmers Market. I also want to bring some extra money and visit some of the other booths. They had some fish venders and butchers that looked interesting. I didn&#8217;t want to buy any from them today because I wasn&#8217;t sure how long the trip back would take me, but the buses all connect well and the trip home isn&#8217;t really that long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was our first CSA pickup.
