A fresh salad

[dancerjodi]

B and I stopped at the Farm around the corner from our house yesterday on the way home to pick up what they had. I mentioned the corn on the cobb we grilled yesterday - I also got 2 kinds of lettace, some tomatoes and some cute, teeny peaches.

It makes SUCH a difference eating such fresh food, wow, I forgot. There is so much more flavor, the quality is so great compared to the supermarket. Yum.

So if you're out in our neck of the woods check out Sunshine Farm (their large farm store building will be finished construction supposedly at the end of the month - right now they are selling out of a big awning). There is an article about them in here:

that's the *one* thing i miss about living in bumfuck middle of Washington state. Wenatchee, to be exact. whenever you see an apple with the Washington apple sticker on it, that's where it came from. from about april or may through October, any road you drive on to get in or out of town will have a fruit stand about every mile. peaches, nectarines, cherries, strawberries, apples, apricots, plums, grapes... all fresh and running at about the cost of pocket change. yummm....

Farms and stuff

Its good at least that we're only 20 minutes from Boston :)

OMG it was so cheap, like $6.50 for a bunch of stuff!

In the little self-serve tins, which were usually coffee cans with a hole cut in the lid? With the make-your-own-change, since most things were a quarter, or fifty cents?

I remember getting a dozen ears of sweet corn for a buck growing up.

Nostalgia.

no, because not even people in more rural areas are *that* trusting.

yep, that's the kind of think i'm talking about.
