Support your local CSA!

All throughout his time in the womb and up to the milk that sustains him today, Virg has been enjoying the fresh, 100% organic, local vegetables from a CSA (community supported agriculture). Virg got to visit the Whistling Train Farm today and see firsthand the bountiful harvest that is helping him grow so big and strong.

Sure Monsanto has genetically engineered cauliflower the size of a small VW Bug, and corn that will actually hunt down and kill all other types of corn, but there's just something about local organic vegetables that is so appealing. Maybe the fact that it doesn't scare me. Today there was also a fruit share to pick up (2 lbs. of ripe peaches). Time to go to Grandma and Grandpa to "borrow" some ice cream!
