the apples were from Chile, S.A. and the pears
from Argentina, S.A. so much for local food

I discovered this after I had brought them home

I don't have an issue that this country is importing
from other countries. Its the idea that so much
oil was used to get those pears and apples here.
That is half of my issue...the other half is how long did it take to get the stuff here? The food sitting in shipping containers and what are they doing to it to keep it appearing ripe??
Its about walking my talk...so yes its local for me
because I want my neighbors to be supported, and
care for Mother Earth in all the ways I can as an
individual even if that means changing my green
smoothie to only what is local.
EXACTLY! I was experimenting with artichokes yesterday, for this reason!!
Next Sunday I'll check the Farmer's Market and see
what is being sold that is local.
I'm still eating Asparagus every day(and now avocodo's)
does anybody know if I can freeze asparagus? The asparagus season is short lived I'm told....another week or so and then none until the end of summer.

enjoy your day, Greco
Thank you! Same to you.
