find your farmer....first CSA pick-up farm tour


Such a pleasure to tour the farm and get the details of where my vegies come from. Walter is using land as well as can be imagined. I appreciate not only the food but the wonderful association with Walter and Toni.
here is the amazing box of food I got....


and here are the most delicious strawberries I remember eating fresh from Cross Line Farm right up the road from F.A. Farm







disclaimer: as I so enjoyed, what I percieved to be farmer speak from Walter, "and this area has gotten out of hand" I will say, as an amateur videographer, there is a few moments in #4 video where "the lens got out of hand" ....audio still good and it never stops me from publishing.
