As close as Carters get to farming...

In an effort to be more intentional about eating well, eating local, and being intentional about creation care, we joined a CSA (community supported agriculture) group through ResCov called Just Food.

For those of you are wondering what a CSA is, click here. What it looks like for us is that every other week we get a vegetable share of all sorts of yummy veggies and once a month we get a meat share of humanely raised beef, chicken and pork. This week, for example, we've been feasting on fresh lettuce, radishes, mustard greens, bok choy and more.

Our farmers, Mike and Claire, own part of a farm in Ottawa, IL. We went to the farm to —as Heath puts it—meet dinner and meet the people behind the CSA. Here are some pics.













There are plenty of other gorgeous images from the farm that the Daigles and Lisa took. Check them out!

When we were done at the farm, we went to the Cockrel home in Ottawa for a delicious BBQ. It was a fantastic day.
