Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a rapidly growing way to support local farmers and have access to the freshest produce. You sign up for a share of the farmer’s crop, and receive a box of vegetables (and fruits when available) once a week, typically from late spring to fall. But after picking up your share, it can sometimes be challenging to know what to do with that week’s bounty. Worry no more! In this class, we will take common seasonal produce found in your CSA box and teach you great ways to showcase each item. From June greens to October squash and everything in between!*Due to our wonderfully sporadic Michigan climates, certain fruits and vegetables may be switched out with something that is more perfectly ready for consumption. Mother Nature will decide the fate of these classes without prior notice!June: Strawberries, Radishes, Greens, Garlic Scapes, Herbs, Snap Peas, etc. Ann Arbor Cooks!, 5060 Jackson Road. $65. 734-645-1030. www.annarborcooks.com [map]
