    I come to your blog on an almost daily basis to get recipe ideas. I also live in the cities and belong to the HVF CSA so your blog has come in handy on more than one occasion - with delicious results! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. P.S. Your bag is so cute - I've thought about attempting the feat of making one myself but haven't gotten there yet.

    Kat, thank you for you devotion to this website, and local food! I was just checking your blog when my 9yo son came down to say goodnight. He is just starting to blog himself. I shared your blog with him, and told him that I check your blog at least twice a week, and told him which of your recipes he's tried, especially those using produce from the Harmony Valley CSA. It was a great learning experience for him, so thank you for that too!
