Growing Your Own Food New West Style

July 30, 2010 By newwestfarmers

Local market shopper Elise Weatherby dropped us a note today about our market:

Way better selection of produce vendors; better, fresher, and organic produce and more hard to find stuff ie: pea shoots and gooseberries! This is the type of stuff farm markets are famous for!  It’s so fantastic to have a good local fresh food source so close to home!  I do grow a small garden myself so I want to add that I am extremely picky about purchasing produce, and the quality at RCFM is pretty much as good as it gets (outside of growing my own).

Thanks Elise! We really appreciate you taking the time to email us and let us know.

You can check out Elise’s review of RCFM on her new blog– which is all about growing your own food. We agree that growing your own is the very best way to eat – but not everyone can grow their own because it takes a lot of time and effort and at the very least, a patio! Next best thing is a farmers market, where you can get to know your farmer and enjoy fresh picked goods.
