Letting Go, Making Room
It’s been a long time coming, to be honest. I’ve wrestled with the whole idea for over a year now. The decision has finally been made. It’s time for me to say goodbye to Real Food Roads. I will be ...
Farmers’ Market/CSA Report #9, August 2017
Being at the farm, or the farmers' market, provides me so much more than food. The farmers' market is a chance for social connection, a community of people who value food, and feeding people, the way I do. The farm is always an oasis of quiet, persistent effort and dedication, a place I always find peace even though it is on a well-traveled road not far from my own neighborhood.
Farmers’ Market/CSA Report #8, August 2017
The weather was so unpredictable last Saturday that I did not make it out to the Farmers’ Market. This week has been National Farmers Market week, of course, because that is how my life works. Luckily, plenty of other people wrote some great things for you to read instead of my report. At Modern Farmer, ...
Farmers’ Market/CSA Report #7, August 2017
Direct from the drug-infested den of New Hampshire, I bring you my latest report. (Procrastination is sometimes a beautiful thing. If you are befuddled by my description of New Hampshire, I am quoting our President. Really, click this link to the Washington Post, and read on down a bit.) Behold, the fine fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, ...

But I did not come away empty-handed. The peaches and berries are so abundant this year, something I am definitely thankful ...
Farmers’ Market/CSA Report #5, July 2017
We’ve had cloudy, gray, rainy weather for a few days now, with temperatures cooler than normal for this time of year. Fruits and vegetables need sunshine to ripen, so it was not a surprise that some summer produce is a bit slow arriving at the market. Fortunately, I did find lots of things I can ...
Farmers’ Market/CSA Report #4, July 2017
This post is a bit tardy, as I have been completely obsessed with preparing myself for the return of Game of Thrones this Sunday night. When I say obsessed, I mean binge-watching Season 6 so I can remember all the absolutely awesome stuff that happened, and all the horrific evil stuff that happened, and to ...
Farmers’ Market/CSA Report #3, July 2017
As I pulled into a parking spot in the lot where our Farmers’ Market sets up each week during the summer, I noticed it looks a little smaller than it has in previous years. The little ring of canopies and tables isn’t filling up quite as much space as it used to. This could change, ...
