Veggie Tale

After reading an article in Consumer Reports, Kirsten signed us up for this organic produce program at our neighborhood organic food store.

Every Saturday morning we walk over and bring back a bushel of fruits and vegetables! It's through King's Hill Farm in Wisconsin.

I'm skeptical of the whole organic food thing, but it's been a lot of fun getting this big grab-bag every week. It forces us to eat more fruits and veggies (only a good thing). It's been fun to give some away. It's full of surprises, including some strange stuff we've never seen before. Like what are these things?


The hippies folks who work at the store are very friendly and helpful. They answer our questions and have lots of ideas on cooking what we get.

Here are our first two bushels...

P.S.: The Consumer Reports article is here though subscription is required.

P.P.S.: Here's my skepticism in a nut-shell. First, it seems like they're using fear to sell some pretty expensive stuff. Second, why do they get a free pass on all the pests that other farmers have to battle? I doubt that non-organic farmers would waste money on pesticides they don't really need. (Bah! Humbug! Grumble grumble grumble...) Oh, well.
