Her Two Cents on Veggie Stand At Maple Tree
Summer and here and ’tis the season for visiting farmer’s markets, farm stands, and your local community growers. I’m not sure how healthy a corn-only vegetarian diet would be (would like make them a “corn-itarian”?) but much like relationships, growing food requires pretty challenging work. Buying it is easy – it’s the growing that’s where the real effort lies.
Gentle Readers: I’m fortunate to live in an area where small, community farms are plentiful and access to fresh, locally grown produce only a short distance away. Do you ever have a chance to shop at a local farmer’s market or farm stand? These experiences aren’t just for folks in the country – some of the biggest and best markets can be found in urban areas like NYC and San Francisco. What are your favorite things to buy? (my vote? fresh organic eggs and local, raw honey – one bite and you’ll never go back!)
