An article about our CSA farmer appeared in the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
**************
Yesterday found me at the weekly Farmers Market in East Atlanta Village. For the first time I took one of our dogs, who, being a Lab, is extremely social. It was as if she were the queen of the market- everyone was petting her and telling her how beautiful she was. Of course, she had the best time with all the attention and also greatly appreciated the brilliance of all the samples placed out on tables. Her favorite table by far was the cheese one.
I actually was hoping to find a tomato or two since none were in the CSA delivery this week, but there were none at the market either. However, I did pick up a bit more cheese and some delicious looking pasta.
But my coup of the week was locally produced hot cocoa by JD Rothschild. Obviously they must import the cocoa itself, but they make the mix. The taste they gave me of the hot chocolate was delicious. So I purchased some. Just in time for our 40 degree, rainy day.
I will confess that I like being able to interact directly with the people who are producing the food I eat. There is a certain level of trust built that way. I think it is difficult for most people to be dishonest when we are interacting on a weekly basis, and when we are looking into one another's eyes while doing business.
