We're doing a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share at a local farm this year.

I thought it would be a great learning opportunity for Antonio to see how a farm works, how different foods grow and at what times of year they become available They have ducks and chickens & we can get eggs as well as beautiful flowers and herbs.

They're pretty much organic farmers, so it's also nice to have fresh healthy things to eat & for Julia to try out. I also like supporting a farmer in my community.

Every week, on Tuesdays we head over to the farm on the way to swim lessons & pick up our bag of produce & some eggs. We don't really know what to expect & it's fun planning meals around what we recieve.


I'd like to think I can figure out any kind of vegetable, no matter how odd looking.
But I need help this week...can anyone tell me what the heck this is?



It looks pretty alien & even though he's brave, I know Antonio won't touch it unless I can come up with a reasonable explanation.
