A recent newsletter from Full Circle Farm, an area CSA, offered these tips for reducing food waste:
1. Watch your trash. Notice what you throw away or compost, and adjust your purchases accordingly.
2. Organize your fridge. Move older items to a more visible spot, and keep your temperature at 39 degrees.
3. Serve smaller portions. Good for your waistline, your budget, and the earth.
4. Make a plan. Create a menu ahead of time to make sure you use what you have on hand.
5. Use your freezer for leftovers, nuts, and bulk purchases.
