Better Vegetables
NYT Article on the Park Slope Food Co-op.
I read this and I salivate. The produce round here is none that great, I can tell you, which is terrific if you just see potatoes as something to cover the parts of the plate unoccupied by steak, but vegetables take on a whole new meaning when they're the ding an sich. I'd love to join, but I have a hard enough time getting to the local organic market, let alone Brooklyn.
Interestingly, I first heard about the PSFC through this pretty hilarious site. Which site I discovered because it was linked from the guy's other page about the alternative high school program my wife attended in Westchester.
There's also Urban Organic, who are just going nationwide, but I'm not sure I like the idea of someone else picking my produce and dropping off a box at my house every week.
