Eating Local Cookbook Giveaway

Eating Local

“In home kitchens across the country, cooks are making a change you can taste."
Janet Fletcher in her cookbook Eating Local

That alone is something to celebrate. As we celebrate the 35th anniversary of our own organic farm, we see this change happening every day, and it both humbles and inspires us.

As you share recipes, stories and photos from your own kitchen, we get to experience first-hand what it means to be a CSA – and how amazing it is to see what grows in our fields appear on your tables in the meals you share with family and friends.

Recently, we had the honor of speaking with local acclaimed cookbook author and journalist, Janet Fletcher about her book Eating Local: The Cookbook Inspired by America’s Farmers. A gorgeous and tempting read, Janet's cookbook serves up 150 recipes for making the most of the fresh ingredients in a CSA box or farmer's market. 

She autographed a book for us – and we're hoping to give it to one of you, our Farm Fresh To You CSA fans!

Wine-Poached Pears from Eating Local Cookbook

  2. I love never knowing what I'll get in the box. Then comes the fun of thinking of new ways to cook the veggies I'm familiar with & becoming familiar with the veggies I've never tried before. :-)

  3. I love delivery day!

  4. Moved here from Northern Michigan a year ago, where I always had a fairly large garden (I LOVE to garden), and here we live in an home that only accommodates a small garden, and tho still enjoying that, it is nice to get my fresh organic food and trying out new things that California has to offer. I have come to the conclusion that California has some of the BEST fruit I have ever tasted, along with many other foods! THANK YOU for your service!

  5. Ihave had to turn my life around and eat better food - the program has allowed me to do just that! Nothing at local grocers tastes as good or is as fresh as your program. God Bless!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Mmmmmmmmm - good, fresh food delivered to your door!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I love to see what goodies have arrived on our doorstep each week. My toddler enjoys taking everything out of the box. When it's strawberries or tomatoes, she eats them right out of the box!

    ReplyDelete
  8. I love searching for new recipes for both familiar items and especially for new ones that come in my box!

    ReplyDelete
  9. We love the flavor of local produce that can be picked at the point of ripeness. My kids love to pull the surprise out of the box every week and trying to name it all. You force me to keep our menu varied and please don't stop sending those recipes????

    ReplyDelete
  10. I love finding a box of freshly picked organic produce on my step and immediately incorporating it into what my family eats that day. From slicing up the apples for my daughter, to creating a salad for lunch, to whipping up fun combinations of baby food for my babies. I love knowing that not only is the food safe (organic) for my family, but that the only way to get it any fresher would be to pick it myself! Thanks for doing the hard work for me so I can simply enjoy!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I love my CSA. the excitement starts opening the box left for me at my front door. you can smell the freshness as you open the box. always tasty. alway unique and fresh. i feel really good about feeding my family wonderful organically grown produce. a party for the senses! thank you for this gem in our lives!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Like that I get to enjoy produce that is fresh and in season

    ReplyDelete
  13. I love that the kids get so excited to see what's inside the box when it arrives. It's like a birthday present arriving at the door every week!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I love that having different organic vegetables in my box each week inspires me to cook different dishes that I would have never tried before. I feel great serving meals to my kids with fresh fruits and vegetables with amazing flavor that I know have nothing in them that is potentially harmful!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I love being a member of CSA for a number of reasons:

    1. I love that everything is organic and grown on a farm that keeps in touch.

    2. I love the convenience of not only having delicious, healthy produce delivered to my front door, but how they also do the choosing of the produce for me. No more looking through the store and wondering what to get.

    3. I'm more inspired to try new things (especially in salads!) when they're right there in my kitchen!

    4. I also love that the produce is always top quality - no more bitter zucchini or squash, for example.

    ReplyDelete
  16. The BEST part of belonging to CSA is getting what I call the "suprise gift box" at my front door filled with FRESH and YUMMY produce. Never knowing what is inside the box always makes me smile and I am filled with excitement as I open it up, see what goodies are inside and then read the newsletter and recipes!!! My family has tried new fruits and veggies that I would never buy in the grocery stores and we have made some wonderful meals. I tell all my friends about it and they get so excited just hearing about the "suprise gift box"!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. There are so many great things about belong to a CSA, including 1) the fun of getting a box each week and seeing all the wonderful produce inside 2) Feeling some connection and allegiance to "our" farm 3) Being able to visit the farm 1-2x/year to see the workers in action, the layouts of the fields and orchards, and of course, to pick food directly from the vine! 4) Having great-tasting and healthy food.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I love supporting local farmers, and it encourages me to eat vegetables (something I've always had trouble doing). CSA delivery mornings are always the most exciting!

    ReplyDelete
  19. My favorite part of belonging to Farm Fresh to You's CSA is that it allows me to support local farmers while being completely lazy. Locally-sourced goodness delivered right to my door! It just doesn't get any better than that.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Organic, fresh, delicious, healthy is simply great for our family!

    ReplyDelete
  21. i love having new, different, and season-specific food to experiment with each month! this month i came to appreciate grapes all over again!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I like getting a delivery because it means I'm getting fresh food that's not been tampered with, and it's a variety of food that I wouldn't necessarily pick out myself. Almost every time I get a new delivery I'm getting something I've never tried or never even knew of.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yummy! We'd love to have this for inspiration in the kitchen!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I love belonging to a CSA because:
    1) I am able to consistently and easily eat fresh fruits and vegetables as part of my regular diet,
    2) I don't have to worry about the quality and taste - it's consistently good,
    3) I love knowing that I am supporting local agriculture,
    4) The produce comes to my home so I don't have to spend time shopping and running around to various markets,
    5) I love the variety.

    Keep up the great work!

    ReplyDelete
  25. It is amazing how exciting it is to receive veggies and fruits. I have referred others to Farm Fresh to You and they are as happy as I am.

    Farm Fresh to You is the best! Feel like we are all one big happy family eating well.

    We love getting produce that we wouldn't necessarily pick up at the store. It has allowed us to expand our food horizons. It is wonderful knowing we're supporting local farmers and the organic fruit and veggies taste AMAZING!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love that my family is provided with new, healthy things to eat that expands our horizons, and also that I am challenged to cook something with what comes in the box! I also love getting away with not having to grocery shop for those items.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Love the variety; each box is like a grab bag of fruits and veggies for the week. It gets me to break my usual picks at the local Farmer's Markets. I LOVE IT.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I love the creative challenge of responding to whatever arrives in the box and crafting something delicious from the contents. Both the CSAs I have been a part of, introduced me to knew fruits and veggies, and have made me a more adventurous cook! It is also satisfying to cook things when they are in season, which is sadly not really a part of our modern eating experience.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love the exposure to vegetables I had never eaten before, especially to those I have never even seen in a grocery store, let alone been brave enough to try.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love the problemsolving of receiving a vegetable I normally wouldn't buy and figuring out what to make! I also love the challenging of eating everything in the CSA box as fast as we can!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I eagerly await to see what wonderful fresh and local produce will show up at my door each time. As soon as I open the box, I begin thinking about what delicious fare I can create for my family using those ingredients. It goes great with my macrobiotic regimen to eat locally grown organic produce that has been delivered right to my door. So nice not to have to schlepp to the store!

    ReplyDelete
  33. My two little boys wait on the porch for the box to arrive and can't wait to see what's inside!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love receiving a fresh box of produce bi-weekly. Many times I'm introduced to a different version of a familiar fruit or vegetable and it's exciting to try new recipes with them. Plus, making sure my family is eating fresh and organic goods, makes me feel better about what we are putting in our bodies.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Like a gift when your box arrives, and makes so much sense, direct from you, direct to us with our insane schedules! thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love opening the box with my kids and talking about what everything if and all the possibilities of what we can make with it!

    ReplyDelete
  37. My kids get so excited to see what in the box, then we talk about all of the yummy things that we'll make!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Being part of a CSA really helps our dual-income family eat healthy. We seldom have time to visit the local grocery store for organic produce, and when we do, the produce is rarely locally-grown. The CSA box, however, is delivered every couple of weeks, and is loaded with locally-grown, organic produce.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I love the challenge of working with what I get. It has encouraged me to experiment and come up with some delicious creations I wouldn't have otherwise tried.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Farm Fresh to me

    ReplyDelete
  44. The CSA box got my husband and me to really appreciate the goodness of beets. :) We're also pleased that we have another way to support our local economy.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I get so excited when it shows up on my doorstep. Can't wait to see what new things I can be challenged to create. and I like knowing I'm supporting local farmers.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Knowing I am feeding my 16 month old twins only the freshest, most delicious organic produce I can find! I only wish I'd discovered you sooner.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I love getting produce that I wouldn't buy otherwise and then trying a new recipe so I can eat it.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Bring in the morning paper. Bring in the magic box of fresh food. What could be easier!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Always something new to try...and access to great recipes is an added plus!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I am a creature of habit. I will buy the same things all the time. My deliveries provide samples of items that I normally do not buy or have never bought, but always love.

    ReplyDelete
  56. As a result of joining Farm Fresh to You I am more aware of what is locally seasonal. On the occasions I have to supplement produce by purchasing from a market, I usually buy what I have been getting in my box. I also have enjoyed learning to eat new varieties and types of vegetables and fruits. You are providing a great service to this area. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I love my CSA! I love knowing that not only are we helping the environment by eating locally, but that my family is eating organically and healthy. I also love that it's peaked my oldest child's interest in learning about where food comes from, and in visiting farms and planting her own food.

    ReplyDelete
  58. We really enjoy receiving the box of seasonal fruits and veges. This has been very helpful in training my husband and I to eat seasonally. We have our own garden and FFTY gives us a lot of what we don't have and more of what do. I've been forced to come up with meals containing items I've never tried before, and that is a good thing. And everything is fresher than anything you purchase in a super market. Tastes sooooo good.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I like that I can support local farmers at the same time as I make better, healthier choices about the food on my plate. Oh yeah, I just love getting packages delivered to my doorstep too!

    ReplyDelete
  60. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning when the box arrives. It is always exciting to be surprised by what might be there.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Always having the fridge stocked with something healthy and yummy, and forcing myself to experiment with produce I might not otherwise buy...always with yummy results.

    ReplyDelete
  62. As a working mom, I love belonging to a CSA because it's good for everyone: The farmers, the local economy, the earth, my family's health, and me with my hectic lifestyle. We get to try foods (and recipes!) that are new to us or outside our comfort zone - with great results! (Kale chips - who knew?) Delivered right to our door front, it couldn't be easier, and even the cardboard boxes the produce comes in get reused by Farm Fresh To You. I also love the stories that accompany my box every two weeks, written by a man who clearly loves the land.

    ReplyDelete
  63. We are proud to be patrons of Farm Fresh if for no other reason than knowing we are supporting our local farmers! And of course having all that goodness delivered to our front door is the cherry on top. Always a surprise, always delicious.

    ReplyDelete
  64. We are proud patrons of Farm Fresh if for no other reason than knowing we are supporting our local farmers. Delivery of all that goodness to our doorstep is just the cherry on top. Always a surprise and always delicious.

  70. I love supporting local farmers. It's something I've read about and heard about for so long, and Farm Fresh to You finally gave me a way to actually do it consistently. I love eating organic fruits and vegetables. I also love the challenge of learning to cook vegetables I might not have chosen in the grocery store. I've learned to love an appreciate beets. :)

    ReplyDelete

    Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  73. I love trying new vegetables! It inspires me to create new things to eat and use vegetables in ways other than the everyday. Plus, it supports local and small farms while being organic. I love finding surprises in my box!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I love having my family enjoy the flavors of the fresh fruits and vegetables. Knowing that my family and friends are eating the best while we are helping the farmers stay in business to provide incomes for their families just gives me a good feeling inside.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I decided when I got really sick that I needed to get back to a more organic diet. I was so excited when I found farmfreshtoyou.com. And I have been hooked since the first box. I love how fresh everything is and how delicious it all tastes. Getting my box every Thursday is so exciting to me that I can hardly sleep. I have had a lot of sleepless Wednesday nights. :D Thank you for your wonderful service and letting me try new things.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I like the opportunity to test/learn about new and locally grown fruits/veggies that otherwise I wouldn't know/learn about.

    ReplyDelete
  77. My favorite part, including all the tasty food, is waiting for my 5 am delivery from my "Farmer". It feels a bit like waiting for Santa Claus. I can't wait to see what inside the box.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Who knew that I could learn to cook and love things like kale, collards, fava beans, broccolini, and lemon cucumbers? Getting my box is like Christie, too. I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  79. I love comparing my produce with the supermarket's waxy, pesticide produce. I love the fact that it's grown locally, and that my money goes to the local farmers.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I appreciate the hard work our local farmers go though to provide families with healthy alternatives therefore I want to provide a means of making a living for them by purchasing their products each month... It works our for both of us!

    ReplyDelete
  81. I love trying to new recipes and have loved the recipes that comes with our produce!

    ReplyDelete
  82. I love the surprise of fresh, local, in-season vegetables (I don't check the list on purpose). It gives me the challenge of finding new recipes for eating healthy. Thank you Farm Fresh for helping us stick to our choice of living sustainably.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I love how excited my kids get when the box shows up on our doorstep. They love seeing all the vegetables and trying them! It's a great way to introduce new vegetables into their diet.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Being part of a CSA gives me the motivation to make fruits and vegetables the center of my meals, rather than an afterthought. I love washing the dirt off my carrots-- it's the next best thing to pulling them out of the ground myself!

    ReplyDelete
  85. More than anything, I love the reaction on my toddlers face when he opens the box and discovers all the amazing produce and fruits! I get excited thinking of all the meals we can cook together! We are thankful to have this awesome service.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I love the challenge of using items from the CSA box in new recipes! I get so excited when our box arrives!

    It is always a surprise! We love it1

    ReplyDelete
  91. Somehow we never really used to get around to shopping regularly for organic produce. And the prices... :-{

    But getting delicious organic produce delivered to our house and saving a couple bucks -- what a deal. Plus, it's so easy to manage our choices.

    Now it's kind of like Christmastime every two weeks when we get a box of goodies.

    Definitely a good decision on our part to go with Farm Fresh to You..

    ReplyDelete
  92. Knowing that I am doing something good for the environment and my family at the same time. I like opening the box and being surprised.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I'm too busy and work long hours. I am ssso grateful when I stumble over that box and realize I can still enjoy local organic food and support family farms! Yay! Good times ; )

    ReplyDelete
  94. We love being a part of a CSA because we know we're getting good quality produce that's fresh and we're supporting the local economy and local farmers. I'm glad a friend passed on your website. Keep the goodness coming!

    ReplyDelete
  95. I love getting fruits and vegetables that I wouldn't buy on my own. I taste something new, I create a new recipe. And nothing more convenient that receiving my box on my porch! Love it! I have recommended farm fresh to you to all my friends!

    ReplyDelete
  96. I love supporting my community and creating a healthy lifestyle for my family.

    ReplyDelete
  97. I have to admit I cheat. I look online every week to see what will come in a few days. I love going down the list oohing and aahing about what we'll be getting. And love that it's all organic!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I look forward to opening every single CSA box - and getting creative about how to cook or incorporate what I find into our meals. The food I receive with each deliver tastes better than anything I can find in grocery stores, and I enjoy having a relationship the the with community of folks who produce my food. Knowing where my food comes from, and rolling with the changes of the season, while still being able to choose veggies I like (and am not allergic to, thanks for that) is a pleasure. Buying local, and sustainably is a priority for me - and it's a bonus to have folks over who exclaim "this is the best pear I've had" when we share meals with family and friends. Thank you for all that you do.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I love my organic produce deliveries, it makes me come up with creative ways to eat more healthy. I can't wait to get my box and what awesome produce is inside. I would love to win this cookbook and be able to do more with my produce.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I love the challenge of making something with a random surprise basket of fresh ingredients.

    ReplyDelete
  101. It's Christmas every Wednesday I peek outside and find a new FFTY present waiting for me!

    ReplyDelete
  102. I love adding organic produce to our meals and learning to cook with seasonal items every week. It's been the best choice for our family!

    ReplyDelete
  103. It's a small thrill twice a month to open the front door early in the morning, bring the box in, and exclaim over each type of produce. We like buying and eating local and organic, and presume that the workers who pick, pack, and deliver our fruits and vegetables are treated well in the fields and by the farmers.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I love that my CSA deliveries help bring some balance to my otherwise very busy and hectic life. The fact is, I wouldn't otherwise get to the store to buy fresh produce with my schedule. My CSA deliveries give me an easy and affordable way to maintain a healthy diet. I also love knowing where my food comes from and the surprise and challenge of learning to cook with ingredients that I'm not used to or may not have bought on my own.

    ReplyDelete
  105. CSA makes me feel connected to the earth, her offerings and all life!

    ReplyDelete
  106. When the box arrives it is like getting a present!
    It also allows us to try different vegetables that we don't buy or grow. I also think it is better for your body to eat what is in season.

    ReplyDelete
  107. There is so much to love about our CSA box. We love how good our favorite fruits and vegetables taste and learning how to prepare and enjoy less familiar ones. However, my favorite thing is sitting down and reading the weekly letter from Thaddeus to my kids. Each week they wait to hear what "our farmer" has been doing. It is a valuable connection to our food and the PEOPLE who provide it.

    ReplyDelete
  108. each time I get my box it's like christmas...I love having the vegetables that we used to grow in the country delivered to my house. Fond memories and delicious produce. What else could you want. :)

    ReplyDelete
  109. Being part of a cooperative effort to maintain an alternative to the ever-expanding commercial agriculture industry, and encourage food production based on the health of the product (and the relationship of the farmer to the consumer) rather than the profit of the corporation, regardless of social and ecological damage.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Thank you Farm Fresh for the variety of fresh fruit and vegetables I recieve at my doorstep!
    This has been a great asset for my daughter and I lifestyle.

    ReplyDelete
  112. We love trying new fruits and veggies and eating things we can't find in the local store. And we love how fresh everything is!

    ReplyDelete
  113. we love that it makes us try new fruits and veggies and that things are sooooo fresh.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I have been a vegetarian for nearly 35 years - fresh produce is the center of my well-being. Raised in Germany where either public transportation, my bike or feet got me around, LA was a daunting place to live in initially, esp. when my local farmers' market here in L.A. set up shop somewhere else. Home delivery from nearby farms seemed to be the only good choice. I can participate in the regional & seasonal, thus keep my body healthy, and my mind at ease, b/c environmentally I support our beautiful blue green world. It's the most precious we've got.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I love that I'm eating healthier and trying lots of new veggies. I also like that I'm getting more veggies that taste better than the store-bought stuff, for less money.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Knowing we're eating the healthiest food and supporting the providers of that food is priceless. We love it!

    ReplyDelete
  117. What I love is being able to introduce my classroom of 3rd graders to a variety of different things. Every year my classroom cooks recipes from the box that we receive and the children are able to see what comes from a farm is not only healthy but can be a yummy side dish, main course, or a delicious dessert! They are just as excited to open the box as I am because they know they are going to the Food Lab to make something very tasty!

    ReplyDelete
  118. I love CSA for many reasons... one - the weekly delivery is like "Merry Christmas meets Iron Chef". I get to receive a box of goodies and give me solar power when I eat it's contents. another - I came to southern calif in the mid 60's when it still had so much farm land and it stings that people value convenience stores more than the cycle of life in farming. three - I love that this is a second generation farm that has survived the last few decades.... four - Thaddeus's newletters remind me of one of my great life mentors, Brian Murray at Westwood Flower Garden... His customers not only got pretty flowers and plants but a bit of an education about what it took to have quality cultivated and delivered. I enjoy the spirit of your business as it makes for a wholistic life. Bless you all! Thank you All. Great All - Thank you for the sun, rain, kale and bless the hands and hearts of everyone who touches my good eats from seed to plate... and the lives and loves of those that they tough as well. Thank You.

  119. I love the box at my doorstep! It's like getting a present and always being pleasantly surprised. Before this journey, we ate like everyone else, non-organic and then something happened, we noticed that food tasted different! Wait... Food tasted like something, not processed, not dead sitting on a shelf, not filled with water, but now what we were eating had flavor! I am so happy when the box arrives and look forward to learning to cook and share with friends and family! Our friends notice the flavors and I love talking about the big box that shows up on the doorstep and makes me smile!

  120. I use veggies that I would not otherwise use in my daily cooking...

  121. I love the idea of farm to table and CSA made that happen.

  122. It's like Christmas, but better than toys: Fresh fruit and vegetables--than I can trust to be organic--arrive to give me a fun challenge to prepare them as healthfully and appetizingly as possible.

  123. I love not having to haul groceries up the hill so often even though it's good exercise. Sometimes it's a nice break to have groceries delivered to your door. It takes the pressure off significantly of meal planning.

  124. Farm Fresh makes me feel absolutely spoiled! A lovely selection of freshly picked produce in a handsome well packed box (offering old favourites and introducing new friends), delivered right to my front door. And it's ORGANIC! Best of the best! If I'm not sure where to store something, I look on the FFTY website. If I don't know how to prepare something, I look for recipes on the FFTY website. If there's something I really would rather not have in my box (such as tomatoes right now as I grow my own), I just go to the FFTY website and put them on my exclusion list. And I'm supporting California agriculture! I'm in produce heaven! Thank you Farm Fresh!!

  125. I love: the wonderful flavor and freshness of the produce;
    the confidence that I'm eating something that's healthy and safe;
    the different items get me out of a rut, and inspire me to try new recipes;
    the fact that I'm supporting a local farmer doing their job in a sustainable way.
