There was all manner of tasty goodness at the market today! I love it when there are so many things in season. It’s going to be a yummy two weeks!

Now I’d like to point you in the direction of the two farms we do our business with.

Finca Pura Vida is the farm we get 90% or more of the veggies we eat. Everything they sell is both organic and heirloom varieties, and all of it just simply wonderful. They also sell beef, pork, and a variety of fowl, but we haven’t tried theirs yet. Why? Because we love the meats we get from Richardson Farms. Jim and Kay are the sweetest people ever, and their beef and pork is so flavorful and fresh.

So if you are in the Austin area and looking to buy local, environmentally sound, and healthy foods, check out both of these farms. They are both run by fantastic people who do farming right and care about doing it right. We visit them at the Sunset Valley Farmers Market, but I know both of them also set up at other markets and sell directly from their farms as well. Sure, it costs more than at the grocery store, but I can tell you it is beyond worth it in flavor, freshness, and quality of life. I can’t imagine ever going back to the way we used to eat!

Now to go decide what to make for dinner tonight. I’m thinking a nice hearty pot of chili would be good.
