I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to wander from one farmer that is providing me with fresh goat cheese to another harvesting okra and potatoes for us and on and on.  This beats the hell out of the line at Kroger!  Of course it takes days to do it and even Kroger isn’t that slow (smiles).

I hope those of you that ordered some cheese from me enjoyed it.  Just say the word if you would like more.  The source is there and I will be happy to add it to your delivered order.  I hope to have many items like that for you to order with your veggies such as the coffee you tried.

This week I visited a grit mill to see about some fresh ground organic grits for all of us.  I loved the experience and now I know so much about building a mill!  I even met the mule that provides the power for my grits.  The place is outside of Athens and it is called Mills Farms.  They are lovely people and the grits are incredible.  I am going to try some fresh ground flour from them this week.  Cool, huh?  Growing up here in the West End of Atlanta, I never thought about the fresh origin of flour - sad but true.  Thanks to some wonderful community organizers, we are bringing gardens alive all over the intown area so that even the city kids can have some idea of where t heir food originates.  I wonder if I could adopt a goat where I live?
