Peaches from my orchard…organic. Each unique. Each a different flavor. |
I’ve read time and time again, in countless fancy magazines, how “home grown” or “farm fresh” produce tastes better. And yes, I did enjoy going to the farmer’s market when I lived on Long Island and buying fresh apples from the farmers who traveled to LI from upstate New York bearing crates or Empires and MacIntoshes. Those apples remain in my memory some of the best I’ve ever tasted – can you tell that apples are among my favorite foods?
Hey, guess what? Potatoes come in different colors and sizes! |
