But, as I recently shucked my corn with that eerie sense that I was not alone, I realized that I can’t be mad at these beings for having the same taste I do. Organic in-season produce tastes good and makes me feel even better. Seeing bugs and crunching on dirt just reminds me that my food comes from the earth and it’s not blasted with lab-made concoctions that will likely kill us all. Plus, at the end of the day, the heebie-jeebies do make for an interesting dance routine.
*CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It generally refers to a collective of farms that provide peek-season produce for local shareholders at regularly scheduled drop-offs.
