From our local food co-op. I bought some veggies today to make salads.

The lettuce from the coop goes really fast.

It is such a blessing to live in farm country where there are so many local growers. All the local produce is organic.

In the future I will present more information on Community Crops as my husband is a member.

There are banners above the produce of some of the local farms. I photographed a few today. As you can see a lot of these farms use greenhouses in the winter.

There are some products shipped in such as these jalapenos from Mexico.

And these organic Ruby Red grapefruits from my home state of Texas. In case you have never tasted one of this variety they are sweet and tangy.

Here is a bonus for you and a a first for me.

It is called Malk, that's right pecan milk. I found it very tasty.

With all this you would never know the weather looks like this outside today with more snow on its way tomorrow.

Fabulous @rebeccabe! I wish we had greengrocers like that here. Oh, but wait, we almost do, but not nearly so pretty and you have to look hard for the organic stuff. Luckily we have some villagers who, likeus, grow their own. Your snow photo makes me realise how lucky we are to be able to grow things virtually all year round.

I know I am kind of ready to get back to the green grass. lol

Pecan milk... I don't think I've ever seen that before
I wonder if it is nice :D
Thank you for sharing @rebeccabe :D

It was a 1st for me and it was tasty. creamy .. yummy

My girlfriend's parents live in Hastings. Crazy weather you all are having. Stay warm.

yes, that is not far from here...

@roselifecoach and I just did our grocery just now, stocked plenty of vegetables and fruits for the next whole week!

now you can have fun and take photos of them too!

Rose chopped it all before I can snap any photo... :(

The photo of the snow looks crazy! I am so glad we haven't received much in the way of wintery weather except the cold. I do look forward for the Farmer's Market starting up in March. I do miss all the fresh local veggies.

That's true March is not far out there either. The Farmer's Market is cheaper too.

We actually lived within a block of where it occured and I just loved going. Now to find the one that is nearby. It's actually only 25 minutes away so I could probably drive in.

Fresh veggies, lovely.
Love shopping for fresh food, therapeutic to the soul.

yes so beautiful.... I wish I had mentioned that.
