Did you read the Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan to find this stuff out

You have a great point, but our growing season is only from May to October. With you living further south it is much easier for you to get fresh produce from a Farmers Market all year round. So yes, I buy organic veggies from the grocery store and who cares if they are not as nutritious. You do heat you can do with the growing seasons in your area. We are still eating clean.

In reply to Elizabeth. Hi Elizabeth. This is often a tough question to address. However, since bell peppers are on the dirty dozen list for heavy pesticides, I would choose organic over "local".

So I'm wondering, and I apologize if you've commented on this before, but would you recommend buying the organic bell pepper from Mexico or the non-organic one that is sourced "locally" which I understand from Kroger (our local grocery chain here in Ohio) is within 400 miles?

I love our Green Bean Delivery every other week. It's too overwhelming (for me) to figure out what's in season, where it's at, and how to use it. With the bin, I just gotta figure out what to do with it.

Carrageenan mostly in dairy is harmful to the intestinal track.

I just wanted to say that you have a beautiful and extremely resourceful site. I look forward to exploring all that it has to offer. I've been a whole-food vegan since January and will never go back. Plant-based has empowered me to be a healthier, stronger, and more energized person.

One thing I didn't see you mention here, though you probably have mentioned it in later posts, is stocking up and storing for the coming year. You love your organic blueberries? pick or buy in a large enough quantity when they are in season and can or freeze to last you. My family loves strawberries, so yesterday we went and picked 25 lbs. Probably won't last this family of 7 for the year, so we're hoping to go again Tuesday and get that much again if the harvest holds out. I stock my freezer with venison in the freezer, berries and fruits in the summer, vegetables as they are available. So tasty.

Hi Lisa,

If you put a photo in this post that would show up better on pinterest you would get more pins. This is a great post.
