This is the organic farm co-op and Chris and Quinn Ankrum belong to, and that I want to join. I think we're going to. How fun to get a bag of produce and figuring out what to do with it.

Update:

We did join this last year, and we were very, very happy with it. We've joined again this year, and I just sent our preferred pick-up dates to our coordinator. The first delivery date is June 23rd. Woohoo!!!

Organic and Frugal?

Organic and Frugal?

Can you buy organic foods and still be frugal?

There are a lot of other links to both organic things and frugal things. Ah, two things I'm striving for, in one neat package!

This is very interesting. I've been thinking more and more lately about what I eat, what my family eats, what I'm teaching my sons. The usual things parents live with, I'm sure. The conversation about eating meat that we had at our last Third Thursday dinner kind of sparked the thinking, I think. I mean, we can afford to not eat mindlessly, so shouldn't we do our part and support organic farming, both for the sake of the farmers, the animals, and ourselves?

Also, there was the story on NPR recently about the neurologist who's really hard on the diet. (What's Triggering Your Migraine?) I keep thinking about that -- should I just stop being a baby about it and embrace the list of dietary triggers? Or, rather, ban the triggers from my life? Hard to do -- coffee, iced tea, cola, chocolate, restaurant food, avocados........... It's tough. I love food.

I'm going to add some links re getting organic meats.
