Eat local

I've been doing research on local farms and their harvesting practices since it's more than likely that we'll be rooted in Sacramento County and I wanted to know where our food was coming from so I got a list of farms for us to visit and a few of them come to the farmers market near our house so we walked on over this mornig with $25 cash money (some vendors take debit but very few). 

We left with ground beef from Lucky Dog Farm in Dixon which has all free-range grass fed cattle and a really cool way of giving their beef a sweet flavor by allowing the cows to eat a special blend of oats and molasses before they're slaughtered. I still don't eat ground beef but I make Dan burgers and meatballs. 

I also met the owner of a mushroom farm here in Sac and I loooooove mushrooms so this was right up my alley. 

We ended up getting a 1/2 lb. of oyster mushrooms, 1lb. of beef, a bunch of Dino kale, a dozen eggs from Vega farms, pomelos, persimmons, sweet lines, two different varieties of cauliflower and a bouquet of flowers with the most beautifully colored rose hybrid. 

On our walk back I slipped into a beautiful bookstore with new& used books called Test of Time, to replace my missing Harry Potter book. I found it in perfect condition still wrapped in plastic printed in 1999 for $9.95

I do love living here.
