Maya's Farm CSA (Phoenix, AZ)

Over the past year or so, we've occasionally purchased fruits and vegetables through the Bountiful Baskets co-op (http://www.bountifulbaskets.org).  It was always a great deal and we got lots of good produce from the co-op.  But we've been keeping our eyes out for a locally grown CSA (community supported agriculture) in which to participate.  We came across Maya's Farm through a friend and decided to split the 12 week session.  Our latest pickup from Maya's Farm:


We got the following items from this latest offering: thyme, cilantro, carrots, green onions, beets (regular and golden), leafy greens, farm fresh eggs, garlic, swiss chard, and flowers.  The flowers are just "eh" but I like the variety of veggies (wish there was more!).  Tonight we made some brown sugar carrots and roasted beets with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper.  If the vegetables vary greatly from what we have seen so far, I'll share some more.

    Nice looking basket. 2 kinds of beets? I see some nice salads as well as bok choy (or chard?). I've got some baby bok choy which is probably going to make a nice noodle soup. Hopefully with the summer season coming, you'll be seeing a nicer selection...

    It was actually swiss chard. Would have liked bok choy better, oh well. I hope we get a different selection as the season goes on. It's nice to have the variety.

    You should try swiss chard tacos, I like to cook them up with some onion, bacon, and a bit of lime at the end, served in warmed corn tortillas. Good either on their own for a dinner, or with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Probably my favorite way to use swiss chard.
