pixie - yeah we buy from them too, i was just comparing an apple from the supermarket to the apples from - well you know where! the difference is amazing
farmers markets are also great, there are a few of those around here too. its rare that we get fruit from the supermarket but sometimes you just have to.
tril - i'd love to plant trees - but we are in a unit and its just a no go. If and when we win lotto we will have a lovely edible garden, that is a dream of ours! its true what you say too - from the tree - oh remember my grandads figs - d'lish!!!!
As for chicken, that is the one meat that I will not eat unless it is organic, free range. I don't eat pork unless I am sure of where the pigs have been raised (but that is another topic)
flowerchild, i agree so much with so many of your points. we get all uppity if our Strawberries are not in the supermarket all the time! so so true. Kids of today probably have no idea of the seasons that fruit is at its best - its just always there in the supermarket! I could buy some watermelon right now if I wanted to
I love shopping at the farmers market every wednesday in the CBD, my F&V is always yummy and fresh (usually picked in the last few days), the meat is yummy (I usually buy organic) - the good thing about the farmers market is that you can chat to the people who actually grow the stuff!!!!!!! It also seems to last longer (I throw it in my fridgesmart containers and it is fresh for AGES!).
