Really great post. Man, do those vegetables look great. It’s so hard to find veggies in America that look anywhere near as good as those do. Really inspiring article and hopefully they are able to make a living off of it.

[...] One way to take charge of the food that you eat is to grow your own, but the truth is that not everyone has the spare time or inclination to do that. There are alternatives.

@Pia: That fresh veggie smell was incredible.

@Marcus: I guess that allotments in the UK are a similar idea, although I think that most allotment society’s don’t allow the selling of produce.

Inspirational stuff. I wish there was something similar to this in the UK. I feel like the family boxes would make a big difference in how many veggies people eat in a day. And farmers could count on more stable sales patterns.

What an inspiring visit that was! Great post, Tracy… I was so involved in taking pictures that I missed some of the details I can still smell that uber-fresh fennel, wow.
