Special Features of HCF Produce CSAs. Over the years we have learned that many people are new to eating seasonal food and have fairly narrow food choices.  Thus, they are sometimes mystified at how to use the contents of the boxes.  Because of this, with each delivery we provide meal plans and recipes for using the items in the box.  In addition, since some recipes and meal plans will call for items not in the box, we provide a shopping list that specifies those items not in the box that you would need to follow the meal plan.  See a few examples of these weeking handouts by clicking on this link: Examples of  share contents, meal plans, and shopping lists.
