Greetings, Marketeers!
I am sad to announce that I think I made my last batch of basil pesto today; we’ll see what the next couple of weeks brings, but alas, my basil is petering out: my Seasonal Denial is getting more difficult to justify.
At market, however, there is still an amazing selection of fresh veggies. Although I will miss my basil, we now have the joys of winter squash, broccoli, kohlrabi, carrots, beets, happy lettuces, onions and garlic. So reality isn’t so bad, either.
See you at market!

I have never believed Big Ag’s argument that they are “feeding the world”……
“As I reported last month, two recent UN reports directly implicate commodities speculators for driving up the price of key food staples like rice and wheat-leaving tens of millions of people around the world hungry in order to make a buck. A new study (PDF) reaching the same conclusion has emerged from the New England Complex Systems Institute-and was reviewed by two Harvard economists and an official from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.”
