Last day to order local! Avoid the dirty dozen...

Greetings local food lovers!

Are you buying all the items listed on the dirty dozen organic?

Based on level of pesticides/herbicides and residue remaining on the product, the Environmental Working Group created the Clean 15 and the Dirty Dozen – guidelines for what you should absolutely buy organic.

Kale’s on the list so for all those who love kale sauteed as a side, steamed in a pasta dish or roasted into nutritious chips, you can order organic, local and freshly harvested Red Russian Kale from the Living Farm this week.
