Last night's Tanaka Farms veggie and fruit box

Every two weeks we pick up an organic veggie and fruit box on campus where I work. We pay $30 for the large box and in exchange we get 11 to 12 items. The box comes from Tanaka Farms in Irvine, CA. We've been twice now to the farm. They grow things locally and also participate with other farms to provide things they don't grow. This picture doesn't show everything. We got:

• kale
• green beans
• snap peas
• radishes
• garlic
• 3 squash
• large maui onion
• spring lettuce mixture in a plastic container
• kohlrabi
• 4 oranges
• plastic container of strawberries
• plastic container of blueberries

Each time we get something different, but usually we always get some type of lettuce and onions. We always get at least 3 or 4 fruit items.

I'm posting pictures of previous boxes as well.

In the 2nd photo to the right, in a previous box we had:

• the world's largest cauliflower
• apples
• carrots
• oranges
• radishes
• bok choy
• tangerines
• broccoli
• green onions
• strawberries
• Swiss chard
• lettuce

I love the carrots with the stems on because they stay fresher longer. They are so sweet.

In the last picture we have the world's largest cauliflower. And a couple of other pictures of the huge maui onions we've gotten.

Tonight we will use the kale, some onions and some of the garlic in a kale and goat cheese bake. I'll post the recipe and photo later.
