Alan, thanks for bringing the CSA (community supported agriculture) concept to the Tricities! For…read morethose of you unfamiliar with the concept, you pay a farmer at the start of the season for a share of the harvest, thereby supporting a local farmer and scoring yourself the freshest produce you'll get (short of growing it yourself). Schreiber & Sons offer both organic or conventional shares in small (feeds 2), medium (feeds 4), and large (feeds 6) sizes. If you aren't an adventurous or healthy eater, but strive to move in that direction, a CSA is an opportunity that you can't miss. I haven't run into anything that I haven't seen or eaten before (yet), but I've been very happy with the variety and quantity of the produce. The season runs approximately from the first week of May to the third week of November, weather dependent (the weather this year has been terrible, but Alan has supplemented sub-par harvests with locally grown lentils, split peas, and chick peas). Produce is dropped at several locations (North Richland, South Richland, West Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco); you choose your pickup location and grab your stuff at the designated time. Every Wednesday is like a tiny little Christmas when I get my box 'o culinary adventure! At $420 for a small, organic share, most of my grocery bill is already paid for the rest of the year and I'm feeling pretty smug about it.

I got signed up for the CSA this summer and I just love it! There's a good selection of veggies,…read moreeven in the small share. The melons were awesome, though that one week when I got five of them was a little excessive for a single girl to try to work her way through alone! :) There have been a couple times when there were things I couldn't identify at all....one turned out to be an Armenian cucumber (the darn thing is as big as an arm). Anyway, if you can get yourself signed up for a CSA share, do it! It's a worthwhile experiment to see if you can figure out how to use everything and try out some veggies you wouldn't normally eat!

In retrospect, I'm not a tuna. I'm a whale! Call me Ishmael for that matter. I'm not even a fish and I smell like one at times, says my urologist. Thus, Royal Produce has some of the most deliciooouuuuus protein smoothies to help lose all that excess weight. It was only yesterday, when I realized my buddy Pokémon being neglected, reminding me I could use some outdoor exercise too. I rarely workout, never stepped foot inside a gym (unless it is colored yellow), so to express my thanks for making it this far in my review, order the green smoothie, it's top notch! Whoever said, "There are a lot of fish in the sea," lied. 'Cause I have been holding my rod for some time now.

As someone who got such an immersion and behind the scenes look into the winery, I can't say enough good things about this winery. If you are looking for a break from pretentious winerys this place is for you! Paul is highly knowledgeable and doesn't gatekeep. All of their wines are formulated to be food friendly. As if the couple who own it wasn't sweet enough, they also support several causes. There is no tasting fee and their wines are very reasonably priced.
