I just shelled out over $500 for my summer vegetables. An investment I will not see return from until June, but from then it’s mountains of organic vegetables until November. While I could of mailed in the check, the farm is just a short detour from my evening commute, so I stopped by. Farmer Matt, and somebody I hadn’t met before, where drinking Yuengling while picking seeds from a catalogue. I pushed lima beans, something they lacked last year. This is will be my second year at the Cherry Grove Organic Farm, I am already anxious.

Really makes you wanna consider moving there:
