Organic Love

I know I’ve been a delinquent blogger, and for that I am sorry. I promise to have a Tahoe recap up here shortly (the race was fabulous and I had the time of my life)!

In the meantime, I just have to gush about how stoked I am over organic produce and the new farmers market at Cal State San Marcos (Wednesdays from 3 to 7 pm). Frustrated with the tasteless produce I’ve been finding at my local market, I decided to make the move to purchasing all my produce locally. And Lord, what a difference.

I stopped by the San Marcos farmers’ market on the way home from work last night and purchased some lettuce, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, nectarines and green/purple beans.

I totally enjoyed the vibe of being out with other like-minded organic/farmers’ market shoppers and chatting it up with the vendors. But what was even better was when I got home and did the side-by-side taste test with the strawberries, tomatoes and lettuce. I had bought similar produce a couple days earlier from Albertsons and tried them along side of my newly purchased farmers market finds. Two words: NO COMPARISON.

The grocery store tomatoes had the consistency of tomatoes, but had no taste, while the farmers’ market tomatoes burst with flavor reimenencent of my childhood days when mom and dad grew tomatoes in our backyard. Same deal with the other finds. I forgot how good REAL fruits and vegetables taste. I’m in love …..

I could go on and on about this discovery, but time doesn’t permit. Instead, I’ll share with you a picture of the farmers market and promise to post more as I continue to uncover the glory of locally grown, organic produce.

Coming to a post near you soon …. my new found love of raw milk.
