Pretty bad ass they deliver to your door. We had to go pick ours up.
I guess it depends on the average growing season in ranching country. Places in Montana or Wyoming, for instance, aren't going to be able to graze more than that.

I order from them about twice a month. They are awesome! I had no idea mangoes grew in Texas! It's pricier than the grocery store but everything is so tasty and fresh that I end up eating less meat, so it balances out $ wise.
I'm telling you, this service is phenomenal, the food is great.
My grandfather in the valley has Mango and Papaya trees. I think he has a Lemon, Grapefruit, and Chinese Plum as well.
Go figure, former migrant farmer who likes to grow fruits.
Thing is . . . they are not much more expensive. Also if you want there is a farmers market in the gradys parking lot on bandera like 3 times a month, and of course the pearl brewery farmers market every saturday I think.
Honestly its probably more because you get home delivery but you probably also get much better products. Go buy the same level of stuff at Central Market or Whole Foods and it is probably still cheaper.
Man, the farmers markets I went to in SA sucked compared to the one in Santa Fe. The one here is freaking AMAZING. We've gotten everything from mushrooms to sweet breads (the meat).
That's awesome! We used to have a chinese plum tree in our backyard, it was like Christmas when the fruit was ready to eat.
Oh, and there was a show on this summer called Food Revolution where chef Jamie Oliver went to WV and tried to change the way the schools served lunches there. He showed how chicken nuggets were made and the kids grossed out. Then, when he asked them if they would still eat it, they all raised their hands. Couldn't find it on Hulu, but here is the YouTube:
Not a huge fan of Whole Foods, and going to Central Market is dangerous because I end up spending twice what I planned.Greenling is more convenient and safer for my wallet.
Oh well I was saying its probably cheaper than those 2 places. Man I love Whole Foods. Its just more expensive.
I want a CSA that delivers. That sounds amazing.
Ah, I just re-read it. Yeah, I misunderstood the first time. I am hyper today and can't focus. It's like temporary ADD or something.
I like Whole Foods for some of their dry goods like the pastas. But for produce, I was never very impressed. Same goes for Sun Harvest, although they do have amazing sales on their steaks once in awhile.
If anyone cares, there is a great place on NW Military called the HEB Alon Market. It's a little like Central Market and a regular HEB in one. It's pretty awesome, lots of organic and natural goodies to choose from along with regular stuff. And don't get me started on the beer/wine section ...
Yeah the Alon HEB is great. I don't really know what they don't have that the Central Market has.
Same here. Whole Foods is by far the best option I've found for produce since moving to New Orleans (need to find out if/when/where there are farmer's markets here), but it's not as good a selection as I want it to be. And doesn't feel good/fresh enough for the prices they charge. I probably wouldn't bother if it weren't for NOLA's horrible grocery store options.
A Cajun farmers market? Be afraid. Be very afraid.
A joke, of course, but I must say honestly that a farmer's market in New Orleans, a city associated with insanely good food and a huge restaurant culture, probably rocks hardcore.A Cajun farmers market? Be afraid. Be very afraid.
