WORDS FROM OUR MEMBERS

From CSA member Rachel M.
Why so many plastic bags??? Can we please only bag things that need to be bagged (the lettuces maybe?) and not bag anything else? It feels so horribly wasteful!!

Answer from the Farm:
“We wrap so many of the items to protect them from the effects of the modern frost free refrigerator. If the veggies did not have a protective barrier – they would become dehydrated very quickly. The carrots & radishes would become soft & all the leafy greens would wilt.”

“Although we would love to recycle the plastic bags – organic certification prohibits the use of any item that we cannot account for – we must use FDA food class material for wrapping & must show that what we use has never been used for non organic produce.”

To offset the footprint, you might consider recycling the bags for your own use at home.

"Yummmmm! I went home and ate MOST of the lettuce RIGHT AWAY. It was so fresh and tasty! I am making Rhubarb salsa tonight! And to think this will be going on THROUGH THE FALL!"
