One of the perks of moving to the country is that there are farm stands everywhere! I love being able to buy local. It is nice to know where my food comes from while at the same time support local farmers. Another perk about buying local is that you are always buying what is fresh while it is truly in season. It can also be exciting (not in the same way that a roller coaster is exciting, but this is small town fun that we are talking about here) to see what is new each time you stop at the farm stand. The other day when I passed a local farm stand they had a bushel of green tomatoes! Fried green tomatoes anyone?
