USING THE FOOD
from the Kimberton CSA farm newsletter:
An important note is that although we essentially rinse the produce with water, we do not actively clean them. How "clean" or "sanitized" you want your vegetables is up to you at home! We do have some of the cleanest dirt you can find...but it is still dirt! I recommend purchasing a salad spinner if you do not already have one. It means you can wash your greens thoroughly whilst avoiding a potential soggy salad.
Cheers,
Andrew
