the markets are mostly over for the season up here in New England. It's getting too cold and dark to grow produce--but this story from the Eat Local Foods Coalition of Maine blog warmed my soul. An excerpt:
A recent Saturday was cold, windy, and rainy. We farmers were miserable as we huddled under our tents . Barbara, a lady who lives downtown and buys a few vegetables each week, came to the market and bought squash and carrots for a turkey soup . An hour later she was back - with four bowls of steaming, delicious turkey soup for the wet, cold farmers.
