Horse & Buggy Pick Up

Today was my first pick-up with Horse & Buggy Produce. Today's share included:

1 honeybear of maple syrup (maybe 8 or 9 ounces)
1/2 pound spinach
1 pound kale (only took 1/2 pound)
1 head bibb lettuce
1 bunch asparagus
1 bag sprouts
6 eggs
1 loaf bread

I've already eaten an egg sandwich on the fresh bread and all of the kale. A pound of kale seems so overwhelming before you strip the stems and cut and steam it. As it turns out a half pound of kale is about one good sized serving. I added pine nuts and a little bit of redwine vinegar.

I was both overwhelmed and underwhelmed with the pick up today. I couldn't believe how many greens I brought home, but at the same time, it wasn't much food. This is actually a good thing. As I understand it, there will be a bell curve of produce through out the season, as the harvest grows, so I suppose it's a natural break-in period. So far, so good.
