Vegetables are not grown at Publix...
My kids have no idea how most fruits and vegetables are grown, and to be honest, neither do I.
So I am making an investment in a farm near Boynton Beach. For $400, Green Cay Produce will deliver part of its bounty to our house every other week from October through May. We will also be able to visit the farm to see how our fruits and vegetables are grown.
They call it community-supported agriculture, and it's considered a way to keep small farms afloat and eat food as it's fresh and available, instead of frozen and bland.
It sounded pretty expensive, and I chose the least costly option (you can also get a bigger box and get one each week instead of every other week). If we have a hurricane, I likely will lose my money.
But I want to see if fresh-off-the-vine produce actually does taste better than what I buy at Publix. For more information, go to http://veggies4u.com.
