2. We dropped by the Farmers Market today,
Grow our own organic in a community garden during the summer. It's a great feeling...grow more food than we can eat. We give a lot away. Good for you guys! Get away from the big corporate stores!

5. Our CSA has been wonderful. We do the spring/summer and the winter.
It is an incredible amount of food for the price.
I'd be shocked if many DUmmies start growing their own food. That involves self sufficiency and work, 2 things DUMmies are allergic to and have a known aversion to.
