Farmers markets are cool, but they only come once a week. Since 1992, Earthbound Farm has provided fresh produce on a seasonal basis, and since 2003 their expanded operation and organic café are open seven days a week. Not only do they provide home chefs with seasonal produce, they pride themselves on educating budding gardeners and cooks in a family-friendly environment. If making food for others is an act of love, then growing food is an act that transcends love.
