			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just picked up my first 1/2 share of the season from Highland Orchards.  The share included: bok choy, potatoes, onions, broccoli, apples, sprouts, cauliflower and an herb (Rosemary?).  I&#8217;m not sure yet which herb it is but I&#8217;ll let you know when I find out. Below are pictures of all the items in the share so you can get an idea of what types of vegetables / fruits you&#8217;ll find in a spring share.</p>

<p>I paid $165 for a 12 week share so that breaks down to <span style="color: #ff0000;">$13.75 per week</span>.  I priced out the above online at Shop Rite to compare how much I would have paid.  A few notes:<br />
1 &#8211; I could not find fresh rosemary so I had to substitute it with prepackaged rosemary<br />
2 &#8211; Most of the items excluding the Apples were priced at the non-organic price.  They would most likely cost the same or a bit more depending on sale prices.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="attachment wp-att-359 centered" src="http://kevinkahn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/picture-6.png" alt="picture-6" width="640" height="324" /></p>
<p>One of the best parts of signing up for the CSA is that you get to try vegetables / fruits you might not normally try.  I&#8217;m going to try to make something with the bok choy this week and will let you know how it goes.  If anyone has ever made anything tasty with Bok Choy, I&#8217;d be interested in hearing about it.</p>
<p><strong>Update: </strong>The herb was dill which is selling for $0.79 per unit (whatever that means).  We got a ton so I&#8217;m guessing it would be at least 2 units which changes the price to $12.90. As I mentioned above it is $12.90 not factoring in how much all of these items would have costed if they were organic.  I&#8217;m going to try to write another post showing how we used the veggies / herbs.  This might force me to use more.</p>
<p><strong>Share Items / Usage</strong><br />
<span style="color: #008000;">Bean Sprouts (Sunday)</span> &#8211; We used the sprouts on our tuna sandwiches<br />
<span style="color: #008000;">Onion (1 of 2)</span> <span style="color: #008000;">(Sunday)</span> &#8211; We put in a chili we are making for dinner tonight<br />
<span style="color: #339966;">Dill + Potatoes (Monday)</span> &#8211; We made garlic dill potatoes with all the potatoes and part of the dill<br />
<span style="color: #339966;">Onion (2 of 2) (Tuesday) </span>- We used in Chicken Enchilladas<br />
<span style="color: #339966;">Apples (Sunday &#8211; Monday)</span> &#8211; We used as a snack</p>
