I'll have to see if I can get it from my library! I agree, it's so difficult to buy organic produce when it's soooo much more expensive than the regular stuff...Carrie Roerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518265770331320768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886199027698549648.post-27213969017056853822012-06-14T10:02:45.673-04:002012-06-14T10:02:45.673-04:00I LOVE fruit, and really all produce.

I probably don't stick to what is in-season only, but since I buy by price, maybe it's similar to what's in season. For example, I don't normally buy all the berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), except right now and through the summer when they are a good price.<br /><br />I would love to buy more locally. I just finished reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and now I'm trying to figure out what to do with all the information. (Have you read it?) I've seen the lists for the dirty dozen of food, but I LOVE strawberries and buying strawberries organically is $5/pound and non-organic is $0.99/pound. I don't have money to buy the organic! Sigh...<br /><br />I'm still trying to figure out where I stand, and then how I can put that into practice.Betsy @ Romance on a Dimehttp://romanceonadime.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886199027698549648.post-9482197661536885552012-06-13T11:00:32.545-04:002012-06-13T11:00:32.545-04:00I like your blog!

And I remember the town I grew up in having a weekly market, but my family never went because we grew such a big garden of our own. Now I love going to them to get those things I haven't had luck growing myself.

I grew up about 40 miles south of the small town I live in now... and had never heard of farmer's markets. LOL. <br /><br />There is nothing like the first bite of something fresh and in season and grown locally.<br /><br />Visiting from No Ordinary Blog Hop.<br /><br />http://momontherunx2.blogspot.comJulia @ Mini Van Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388730493453724672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886199027698549648.post-69631828309440111252012-06-12T18:24:00.642-04:002012-06-12T18:24:00.642-04:00i won't mind if you don't ever buy that co...i won't mind if you don't ever buy that corn from the store again -- it wasn't even close to the same as the Michigan sweet corn we get.Rocky Roerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833205290061997823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886199027698549648.post-36108653310520387912012-06-12T15:58:38.091-04:002012-06-12T15:58:38.091-04:00New follower from GFC.
