Don't forget about your asian markets!

Pharmacy Compounding? Wow!

I talked to the owner of Delvin Farms who had discussed being in the Downtown farmers market, and he said that there were more organic farmers at competitive prices at the Franklin one, so I keep wanting to check it out. Thing is, they are only open from 8am - 12pm!!!

PS - thanks for the directions! I live in Antioch, so that is fairly close!

I found out my "local" (about 40 miles away) Asian market gets their fresh produce in on Thursdays. It sells out quickly so my boss is letting me off an hour early every Thursday until after the first of the year so I can go down there weekly to check out the goodies. We'll see what happens after that. She's a good boss!

Hey Spectactrix,
You go to Ta Lin? I get my coconuts there. I'm concerned, though, about the status of the produce there. Most of it looks fresh, but none of it is organic. I don't mind eating conventional and/or imported things from time to time, but as for staples in my diet, I think it's really a good idea to stick to organic, no? You do make a good point though about the price issue. That's why I buy my coconuts (and durians, if the stem is still hard) at Ta Lin because the ones at La Montanita are twice as much (literally, almost 3 times as much) and aren't organic either. As a matter of fact, sometimes they even have the same stickers on them! Oh, if I could only find a source for organic young coconuts, I'd be so stoked!

Nice to meet a fellow Albuquerquean, btw.
