Our Goals

Our Goals
1. To eat fresh and local.
2. To increase our intake of fruits and vegetables in a healthy way.
3. To expand our culinary skills and recipe repertoire.
4. To save money!
5. Introduce Owen to food using the Baby Led Solids approach.
6. To enjoy this experience and share with you each week.
Jessica and Brian have been married 5 years. Our son, Owen came along this past August (12 weeks premature). I would describe us as a pretty normal family, down to earth, fun, loving, mostly mainstream with a side of crunchy. We love eat therefore we are willing to cook!

Food Costs

Each week I will try to evaluate what I received in my share versus what I could have paid in the store. It won't be totally accurate as some things I wouldn't have necessarily purchased as part of my grocery shop. There are also items I needed to purchase in order to complete a meal or recipe from something received in the share. Remember the share costs $25 a week.

Week 1

  1. Zucchini $1.69/lb
  2. Squash-$1.69/lb
  3. Kohlrabi-not available at grocery store (ballpark $2.00)
  4. Collard Greens-$2.49/bunch
  5. Peas-$3.49/pkg (my amount was about 3 pkg worth comparison)
  6. Strawberries-$2.50
  7. Kale-$.99/lb
  8. Romaine Lettuce-$1.99 (my amount was double the size of the store)
  9. Red Leaf Lettuce-$1.99 (my amount was double the size of the store)
  10. Total Share Value: $31.48
