Take them home wash them put them in the freezer and they will last there for several month there to bring a taste of summer to the cold winter months. So why to so few few people partake in this free harvest? |
I was listening to a radio show talking about farmers markets and supermarkets the usual sort of thing.... and I couldn't believe it when i heard this younger chap say almost in passing that he preferred to get his fruit and veg from the supermarket because you knew then where it had been..................
surely that's the opposite of what is true?!?!? I think he was put off buy the dirt on the produce...... supermarket veg clearly grows in a sterile vacum as you can tell by the lack of soil right?
so I think it's for those people, the ones who are frightened of getting their hands dirty......
