July 3

"A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself."
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Once we have woken to the harm caused by agrochemicals, contaminated produce can never again taste really delicious, never be really satisfying, no matter how thoroughly we wash the tomato or how carefully we peel the peach.

From the book Harvest For Hope by Jane Goodall

The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service offers a state-by-state listing of local farmers markets.

Glenn and I are going to our local farmers market tomorrow. I've only gotten lettuce, radishes and strawberries from our garden so far. The fence Glenn put up to keep the deer out is working. Yea!
