Foggy River Farms Veggie Box Review and Giveaway....by Jessica

Danielle was the winner of last week's veggie box giveaway and is our guest blogger for today's post.

The McKenzie family will definitely be getting our recommended daily serving of veggies thanks to the ladies of the J Project. We were the winners of the Foggy River CSA veggie box giveaway, so Wednesday after work, we made our way to the cutest little farm surrounded by vineyards and a pretty picnic area. Everyone there was really friendly and helpful which was good because the Mister and I don’t have a lot of vegetable knowledge.

The first item we needed to get was something called a delicata. We had no idea what that was, but a very nice customer helped us out. Turns out its a squash, and its going to make a great addition to some gnocchi soup. We filled our basket with squash, cabbage that’s just begging to be in a Chinese chicken salad, the fancy carrots with the frilly green stems, green beans, onions and garlic. Then we got to pick our own larger squash from a variety. We went with the butternut because there is an amazing sounding recipe I found for BNS soup with bacon and gorgonzola.

Then we got scissors and a little basil-cutting lesson. They told us we could pick as much basil and cherry tomatoes as we wanted. Of course we didn’t remember that pesto is made out of basil until the ride home, but we definitely got enough for bruschetta. It was a fun weekday adventure and we're looking forward to some new recipes. Thanks girls!
