I don't care about organic or any of that ridiculousness, I just<br />people to visit their lo0cal farmers market just once a seaon and buy somet<br />thing, anything fresh and tasty. Chinses eggplant, chiaggo beets, chokecherri<br /> - something they;ve ever seen pbefore, but is delious. We;'ve lost so<br />much as we've become disconnected form the land - and everyone should have a<br />peice of a garden, eeeven if they can;'t have one themselves.
