My Local, Not-So-Local Fruit Stand Makes Me Sad

by Maggie Battista

I had quite an interesting exchange this evening. We had run out of vegetables from our farm share so I popped into the local fruit stand to pick up some salad greens and fruit. Calareso’s Fruit Stand is located in Reading, Massachusetts, and sells fresh vegetables, fruit, plants, flowers and baked goods. (During the winter,

Friday Morning, Farm Leftovers for Breakfast

by Maggie Battista

Twenty million things to do before my next business trip, to Las Vegas. I’ve never been, ever, and am getting very excited about the sites I’ll see. As I prepare to get wide-eyed and awed, I want to leave a clean fridge and pantry at home, so the husband and I get to whipping up

Tuesday Night: All Local Dinner… at my house!

by Maggie Battista

On Tuesday night, I decided to cook the vegetables I had picked up from my Winter CSA at Green Meadows Farm in Hamilton, Massachusetts. Each week, I pick up 10-12 organic, fair-trade items. They are always as local as they can be, except for the bananas. (There are no bananas in New England.)

Today’s Trip to the Farm

by maggie

I always get so excited by a trip to the farm. We joined a CSA last Spring, and are getting the absolute best harvest of the year in these precious few weeks of Fall. Green Meadows Farm is 100% organic. Today, we picked up:
