Week One Share

Roy and I picked up our first share of food from Fair Shares on Wednesday.

They have distribution points at several locations in St. Louis and the suburbs. The main location is in the city, near I-44 and Kingshighway. We pick up our food just a couple blocks from home, at the Trinity Presbyterian Church in University City. Roy and I went there, met some of the organizers and volunteers, and packed our new grocery bags full of fresh food.

Two reusable grocery bags


Two types of lettuce, spinach, mushrooms, eggs, goat mozzarella, ground lamb, olive oil, brown rice, whole wheat rolls.

We got so much lettuce, but I didn't have any other salad ingredients on hand. I hope I don't end up spending as much in the grocery stores as I did before the CSA! I've been buying a lot of new gadgets and different foods to go along with the Fair Shares food. I've bought a salad spinner, garlic press, an olive oil mister, and some new cookbooks.
