I think I've made it pretty obvious I'm a proponent of eating local whenever and wherever possible. But just how often to you get to eat something, and say, I saw the farmer dig up these potatoes yesterday? While we went to the farm to pick a few blueberries (the berries are too time intensive and scarce to deliver to CSA members, so they invite anyone interested to come pick their own), we ended up getting a full tour of the place. From fields of lettuce and beets to streams and outbuildings near onion fields, it just might be the most beautiful, scenic farm I've ever seen. Those are potatoes with a view! We picked up our share the following day, and sure enough, potatoes. Always nice to know exactly where your food comes from. And I mean EXACTLY. This is Jeff (and Taylor), enjoying some fresh blackberries right off the vine. He's also known as The Barefoot Farmer, for obvious reasons (and yes, he even drives the tractor barefoot). We've been enjoying his handiwork all summer. Tasty
