Going a Little More Organic These Days

How it happened...As you may know, we eat a lot of vegetables in our house. With our quest to eat more healthy, we're now trying to choose fresher and healthier vegetables and meat.

Well, we now get our milk and a few other products delivered from Shaw Farm (www.shawfarm.com). Yes, delivered! We've got the porch box and everything! From this farm, we are getting Country Hen organic/free range eggs and Shaw Farm organic milk. They're also delivering ground hamburg from Blood Farm and a couple of Shaw Farm soups. The soups are just a nice to have for the family. I even had a qt of pumpkin ice cream delivered for the family last week. I won't really be eating the ice cream since it is full fat and I still have some more weight to lose, but a spoon of it once in a while is ok.

This past weekend I went to Whole Foods and bought my free range turkey for Thanksgiving. It's not organic, but close. I also went to the local farmer's market and bought a few vegetables from a local farm and apple cider from a local orchard.

So, it's new to us and a work in progress, but it feels good to try to be doing something more than we were.
