Fried local okra, using locally ground organic cornmeal. We used Spectrum gmo- and trans fat-free shortening.

These potatoes were advertised at the market as "fresh dug". With local butter.

Corn--self-explanatory--but
my question is, we didn't ask, but how prevalent is GM corn here in NC?
Do even small farmers end up growing it inadvertently? It's partly a
math question: if the current stat is that about 70-80% of corn being
grown is GMO, and only 10% is organic, then some percentage is non-GMO
non-organic corn. Interesting but not particularly encouraging. The
odds are not in our favor, especially as the pollen and seeds fly.

This is local steak. I don't eat steak, so, sorry, I'm not sure what farm to credit. At Deep Roots we sell Running River Ranch beef.

Fresh slabs of what looks like a Purple Cherokee tomato. Next time I'm sending Charles and Aaron with a notebook!
