Getting Ready for the CSA season:

We have searched for lists of how to fill your pantry so that you will have at your fingertips all that you need to prepare your CSA haul. The most important items are the oils, spices and bases like rice, noodles, etc. Posted below two comprehensive lists for stocking your pantry. If you choose to stock with these items you will find that many of them are good substitutes when you are missing that one single ingredient.
