Terrific Resource that YOU need to know about!

They deliver a variety of fruit, veggie or mixed fruit/veggie boxes straight to your door. The contents change every week based on the freshest arrivals from their organic farms.

Can't get much easier than that!!!! THEY BRING IT TO YOU DOOR!!!! TO YOUR DOOR!!! Finding out about this makes me sooooooooo happy (can't you tell because of all my exclamation marks!)

Green, green, greener!

It is amazing how things have greened up in the past few days! It reminds me of when Wizard of Oz changed from black and white to COLOR!

I received some strawberry plants today from a parent at my school......I didn't realize until too late last year that they are pretty hard to come by. So- needless to say, I am anxious to get them in the ground and get them established.

The Overland Park Farmer's Market opens April 17th and I can barley wait!!! I have printed off a "harvest guide" from the University of Missouri Extension and it looks like I could find some asparagus,lettuce, green onions, spinach, peas (It's a real good thing that we are not becoming "strict" locavores until Summer......my boys are not big fans of spinach, peas OR asparagus..dodged a bullet there....whew!)

Here we go!

I can barely wait to discover all of the cool places to get local food in the area. I already have a "Field Trip" set up for the Shatto Dairy Farm and am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to tour the lavender fields! So much to discover!
