Backyard Farm Party
This past weekend we went to a party at my cousin’s house. My cousin Anna, her husband Steve and their adorable son Robin started their own CSA this summer called Rains & Sun Backyard Farm.

I feel like I’ve started so many posts this summer with the sentence: “last week in our CSA we got…”, so my apologies if I seem repetitive.
