shopper "but Safeway ...."
farmer "they fly them in"
shopper "so why don't you have them? "

I really like feeling in touch with the season (wooooo, new age'y music in the background), the first cherries, peaches, winter squash ....

LOL!!! totally clueless.

Nope we eat seasonally. tis the season for cabbage, root vegetable, squash and the like. No corn, no strawberries... no peach... but you know what, when they are in season, you really appreciate the wonderful flavor and the wonderful smell. Year round and I think it loses the excitement of first crop of the season.

oh we also avoid malls and big box store with exception of COSTCO. I go there to supply my cookie business. Sometimes its cheaper than wholesale place.
