Fresh Fruit and Vegetables




I love the fresh things in life like fruits and vegetables that are grown locally, not treated with nasty chemicals, not genetically modified to fit into a shipping container and be unblemished after being on the road for 6 days. That's right I am an organic, natural, hippie food lover. There is something amazing about food that was made with care and loving for not only the planet but also for the people who will consume it and gain nutrition. This food is the best you can get without growing it yourself. Check out Fairview Gardens at http://www.fairviewgardens.org/. They have a great farm stand open 7 days a week and you can tour the farm while you are there. Thats right you can buy your fruits and vegetables right where they grow. It does not need to take a week to get to the grocery store and then another week before you buy, IT IS FRESH! It doesn't get any better unless you grow it yourself. But I repeat myself. If you can not grow it yourself then support your local farmer and buy from them. Fairview Gardens is located on Fairview Ave in Goleta. Come check them out. They also have a blog site with great in season recipes which are wonderful; http://fairviewgardenscsa.wordpress.com/. Thanks for watching.
