If I’m not mistaken, rinsing fruits and veggies before putting them in the fridge makes them decay faster.

@ Kimberly I don’t hate Garden of Eve, but it was a bad experience. Little variety compared to other farms, and a higher price. I was delivered brown, rotten, fermented food and told that it was “ripe.” When the CSA memebers spoke up they were told that we didn’t know any better.

It was a sad time, which was remedied by my new farmer who I love. I’m actually pretty happy it all happened, other wise I would never have found my current outstanding farmer.

Glad you are helping out Garden of Eve. Just not right for me!

One thing I didn’t see here was that hopefully the CSA is able to drop off the leftovers at the end of distribution to a food pantry or similar. If they do, then don’t feel bad about leaving some things behind when you pick up your share if you really think you won’t be able to eat it. And don’t be afraid to use the trade box at your CSA distribution because, c’mon, most of the food in our fridge that tends to not be eaten in time is the stuff we don’t love, right? I mean, I always manage to eat all the tomatoes we get, but somehow the radishes (especially the daikons) just don’t seem to make it to my plate as quickly, if at all…

And I feel the need to add, what’s up with the Garden-of-Eve-hating from Cantaloupe Alone? I’ve been with two CSAs (with two different farms) and I’ve been as happy with GoE as the other farm.
