One good thing about attending the annual Green Festival this year was signing up for a twice a month box of locally grown organic veggies and fruits. Since I haven't had much time to dig in the dirt at my own community garden plot, I figured it would be best to sign up for the "box". What I love about getting the box is the assurance that everything is organic and seasonally grown. Ever since reading Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle I've been trying my best to eat seasonally and organically grown vegetables and fruits. My first delivery last week included leeks (which I promptly made leek soup),butternut squash, cranberries, fennel root, sweet potatoes, apples, oranges, kale, dinosaur collards, and green chard. While I'll miss digging in the dirt, I know I'm getting the next best thing minus a sore back and dirty fingernails!
