a new season of worden farm {sign up by october 1st}
We finally sent in our payment a few weeks ago and I am literally counting down the days until the new season starts at Worden Farm! Last year we really enjoyed getting our boxes of farm fresh veggies each week and though the girls were hesitant to try new vegetables at first, by the end of the season they had become true veggie lovers. Towards the end of the season we discovered the joys of actually going to the farm to get our vegetables, and this year we plan to go every week.

And thus began a lifelong (well, okay, 3 year) obsession with homemade pickles. Since then I have begged, pleaded, & even cried to her and all my other pickle-making friends for more pickles.

Can I just tell you how thrilled am today to receive my first box of fresh vegetables from Worden Farm? The season actually started last week but since we were gone our first box had to go to good home. This week, however, I am all about the veggies and so, soooo excited! And can I just say, Holy Gigantic Box of Vegetables, Batman! For the next 19 weeks, we are going to FEAST on veggies! One of the most common questions I get from readers who are trying to save money with coupons is about how to save money on produce. Last year we tried growing our own, to ... read more
