There are different sizes of box, and you also get to choose what's included every week. Or every other week, depending on your schedule.

Imagine the margins are much better for selling it whole vs making jam, even with the discount

I'm just amused that Imperfect Foods is a thing. We always had a deal at the bakery to buy a local orchard's b-grade apples for the stuff we needed fresh apples for, as they were better quality for the price than shipping stuff in. I know they sold the stuff below that grade off to local pig farmers and a cider maker.

Has anyone here ever made caviar before? I'm watching iron chef america right now and it is a caviar battle. I used to do some sturgeon fishing on the Missouri river and never did anything with the roe like a real dipshit, but I'm back east now, and wondering if i can do anything with trout roe when i go fishing this year

It's also given me a much better perspective on handling food wastage as well, which had been bugging me with food going bad before I could get around to it (and only so much freezer space).

They turned out well by just separating the eggs from the connective membrane, rinsing a few times with water and then brining for a few hours. Was v easy and they turned out good! You shouldn’t have any problems.

You're right. I should totally just subscribe to all the CSAs in Vegas. They're very popular here, what with all the farms.

I was subscribed to Quail Hollow Farm for a year or so. The problem I had was they charged $15 "fuel fee" for delivering to one of their drop-off locations, "to cover the cost of gas." Except they charged every subscriber the fee. All 200 of us. Every week. And their baskets were expensive as hell even without that fee tacked on. The final straw was when I got my basket on Wednesday, then went to Thursday farmers market and saw how much nicer the produce they kept for market was. They were charging a huge premium to us, and we were the ugly veg disposal group. Most of the rest of the CSAs "serving Las Vegas" are in Arizona or California, shipping their stuff in. So it's not saving any carbon footprint over buying from Kroger. Same with our farmers markets; virtually all of the produce is from Cali, and while the product is good, the cost is higher than going to Whole Foods for a lot of it. Basically humans shouldn't be living in the Mojave and we're dumb for doing it. But at least we can get some big boxes of produce every couple of months and save a little bit of money, maybe.

Agreed with Bart here. Living is Las Vegas isn't sustainable, we know this. But we try to do what we can to reduce our impact. On the bright side we're really good at renewable energy in these parts.

If the goal is to reduce your impact, I wouldn't worry too much about eating local until you've already gone after the much more impactful low hanging fruit, which involves changing your diet rather than changing the source of your diet.

I agree fully but the thing is we're talking about eating billionaires and they don't just sit in the back of a Greyhound to get from SF to NC and in this case a charter plane does have enough of a carbon footprint that I am going to have to source local

TychoCelchuuu posted:But you have to consider the carbon footprint of all of their family flying in on jets for the funeral. Even if you eat the entire family that's already a pretty big negative impact. At least if you eat out of town billionaire, the funeral will probably happen back where their family already lives. That just concentrates them and then you can catch the whole herd at once. I like a modified BOARBUSTER https://www.farmranchstore.com/boarbuster for big jobs like that, baited with diesel fuel, feed corn, and casino comps. Billionaires love that poo poo.
