It’s getting better all the time! Fresh food in Lincoln Park. Tuesday, June 30 from 4:30-7:30pm
by jodyl - June 28th, 2009Ever had a really bad day? Of course you have, we all experience them once in a while. Well, one of the things I do when I’m having a hard time, is eat. My husband has learned not to keep potato chips and lots of chocolate in the house because of those moments. At least he hides them well. But lately, when I’ve had a bad day, I make a salad. Amazingly, instead of that queezy, yucky feeling I get after eating most of the bag of chips, I feel better after crunching down a crispy salad. Wholesome even. The other great part about it, my salad reminds me of who helped make it. Lettuce from Wonder City Farm, sprouts from Redozo Farm, raw milk cheddar cheese from Ohio Farm Direct. And that makes me feel really great. I know my food is superbly fresh, grown without pesticides, and I’m supporting my local producer and the local economy. Good for me, good for all of us. Join me in shopping for some healthy comfort food!

*As I went by a pitch-pine wood the
other day, I saw a few little ones
springing up in a pasture from seeds which
had been blown from the wood….
In a few years, if not disturbed, these
Seedlings will alter the face of Nature here.
—-from Faith in a Seed, by Henry D. Thoreau
