| Many unique and some common varieties, grown for their
flavor or texture, or specifically the higher health packed
nutritional content of varieties not offered at supermarkets. |
|
Fresh vs. Old
|
| Varieties grown for supermarkets are selected for uniform look
and durability to survive handling and shipping and still look
great on the shelf for a day or two until you buy it |
|
| Tender heirloom varieties do not transport well.. Fresh
natural food full of whole-earth life-energy. Naturally
grown beyond organic standards. We seek
to provide the healthiest food possible |
|
Fresh vs. Old
|
| Many varieties are often tough and tasteless but they look
like "great stuff, for not a lotta money"! when you
hear this enough you believe it tastes like great stuff (Yes!
great stuff - not great food) |

our earths atmosphere, water and soil to bring you old food, "great stuff,
