We Joined the Farm!

This year, our family decided to be community-supported agriculture (CSA) members of a local farm.  As part of our membership, we receive weekly shares of fruits and vegetables for 20 weeks from June through November.  We also receive free entry to the farm itself, which has all sorts of fun activities, from an Easter egg hunt and marshmallow harvest in the spring to a catch-and-release party for dads at Father's Day to a pumpkin chunkin after Halloween and Thanksgiving harvest celebration in November.  The farm also has a pet-a-pet farm, laser tag, and - of course - pick-your-own produce.  We enjoyed our first visit of the year this past weekend when we attended the Easter egg hunt and marshmallow harvest (who knew that peeps grew on trees!).  The kids had so much fun!  They visited with the Easter bunny, played on some awesome playgrounds, found eggs, and ate their weight in roasted marshmallows and peeps!
