I generally get organic and local but I go to the store to get them or the local farmer’s market. Well, last month I decided to try a local farm who delivers once a week. I signed up for the service, they have a variety of options from a small box of fruit for $25 a box to the whole shebang — vegetables and fruits for $37. I went with the big box…why not? It can’t hurt to have lots of extra vegetables and fruits, can it? They will definitely get eaten. The first couple of weeks had a lot of green leafy vegetables which wilted by the day after delivery at lunch. =( That sucks. So, maybe it is best to pick those on my own. I do know how to clean and store them, I eat them daily. But the fruit and other vegetables have been amazing.

It comes in a box with a plastic liner… and its left at my doorstep each week. This week’s box was particularly wonderful! Apples, nectarines, black plums, asparagus, cauliflower, mustard greens (we will see tomorrow how they work out!), raspberries, grapes, blueberries, carrots and organic potatoes…

I do. I do! =) I also love fruit of all kinds and peanut butter and so… imagine my delight when I saw what was for breakfast! This made me happy indeed. So happy…I felt I had to share some pictures of this beautiful breakfast with you.

Pancakes and Fruit Medley (YUMMY!)

Fruit Medley (watermelon, strawberries, honeydew melon, and cantaloupe--all locally grown!)

As it happens…we found that Jif (our favorite peanut butter) has an all-natural kind of peanut butter…so we thought we’d try. I was a little worried it would be weird or yucky, but was pleasantly surprised. It is excellent and I feel good about eating it without all the strange additions. It tastes really good. Here, read about it at the Jif site.

I put it on my pancakes and YUMMY! It was really good. I couldn’t really taste the difference which is a bonus, right?
