Food People: October 2007 Archives
As the Farmers Markets are winding down, Tastybeat has found a gem to fill the void for locally grown, farm fresh items! Irv & Shelly's Fresh Picks provides year-round home delivery of local and organic produce, meat, dairy and eggs, the healthiest foods brought right to your front door.
With every order delivered, Fresh Picks will connect you to local sustainable farmers, telling you the name and location of the farm where each and every item is grown. It's like stopping at the Farmers Market and finding the top quality seasonal fare from over 60 local farms! As the ground gets colder and eventually freezes, Fresh Picks works closely with their farmers to grow fresh greens in local greenhouses. This way they can deliver the best tasting foods all through the year.
Irv and Shelly recommend these October and November Gems:
- Organic free-range turkeys for Thanksgiving from Triple "S" Farms in Illinois
- Fresh organic cranberries from Sandhill Cranberry in Wisconsin
- Fabulous Root Vegetable Soup Mix from Harmony Valley Farm in Wisconsin. This mix includes fresh root vegetables and a delicious recipe all in one package.
All can be ordered weekly from the Fresh Picks website: www.freshpicks.com
Happy Eating!
