I am soooo jealous! I live in Alaska and our produce is all picked green and shipped up here, only for a couple months in the summer can we get fresh, locally grown stuff. Most of the time what we buy at the grocery store is green and flavorless. I am thinking about signing up for full circle farms produce deliveries. It is so expensive to eat healthy!0
