Re: Fresh food

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

We are fortunate in living in an area where there are huge greenhouses, as

well as a lot of farm market gardeners, and several small stores handling

vegetables

exclusively, all with a few miles of us.

I forget sometimes how difficult it is for others not as fortunate.

Best of Health!
