Hi Julie,

I eat store bought carrots in the winter when my local community
grower is closed. There is no comparison against a real carrot.
The first time I bought them, they stunk up the car so bad that
I almost went crazy not pulling aver and devouring them on the
spot. Imagine carrots that smell good. And *A LOT* of smell.
The stunk up my house getting them inside too. They did not
last very long. (Yes, I shared with my wife.)

I have a theory (not the first to come up with it) that the
reason people avoid produce is that it tastes like crap. If you
ever manage to find a community grower, you will know what I
mean. I have to discipline myself or I'd buy everything. It
tastes so good. You really have to find one of these growers!
(Fun to feed the chickens [the "Ladies"] too. They will explain
it to you when you get there.)

It has been said that every family needs three things:
1) their own doctor, 2) their own dentist, and 3) their own
farmer. :-)
