I love this post! Is it okay ifI bookmark it? I will never remember all the wonderful advice and info you've given here, and I want to be able to read it again, and again until it sticks to my brain.

Great article! Great take on the prompt!

Thank you! Yes, please feel free to bookmark, share, whatever.

This has some really great advice, and I found it very useful. I never thought about vendors at a farmer's market simply selling the produce I could buy at a grocery store. Thanks for this.

[heinleinfan]

Thank you! And you're welcome. It makes me happy that people appreciated the info.

That's a whole lot of useful information. Organic food is gaining a lot of popularity in our part of the world too. People have started growing their own vegetables too another concept fast catching on....

Thank you for sharing this

AARGH!!! Well intentioned people and their half-understood theories. GREAT entry! And what a cool job! You must get all the bread warm and all the popcorn tasty and all the veggies so fresh!

[heinleinfan]

Thanks!

Well, there's no popcorn at my market (all local!) but yes, I get some GREAT food all summer long. It's definitely one of those jobs where I get a lot of "How...how do you even GET that kind of job?" The pay is...more of a stipend than an actual salary. Heh. But I feel like I'm doing something important.
