I think about food so much this time of the year because vegetables abound. I just came home from working at Courtney Farms in Bagdad, Ky., with a load of vegetables that will be presented to Community Supported Agriculture subscribers for a weekend gathering of shared experiences and shared food. We are combining our farming efforts to bring food to local families and that includes the pretty things that can be added and eaten in the mix.
