Buying locally grown fruits and veggies

It's healthier for you, the economy, and the environment! So go grab that August basket of ripe delicious Jersey tomatoes. Enjoy!!

    i totally agree. i'm always on the hunt for seasonal fruits & veggies and i consider it a bonus if they're locally grown

    I truly wish I could grab a basket of ripe delicious tomatoes!  We are in a severe drought here in Texas and the last homegrown, fresh from the garden tomatoes we were able to find at our local farmer's market were very small and only from one grower.  Everyone else's had stopped already and none had been very big this year.  We have been able to buy some really good cucumbers and a huge cantaloupe from a local farm at the market.  The cantaloupe was really sweet and very flavorful.
