There are two Shaw's, two Hannaford's, one Sudbury Farm's; there is one Stop&Shop, one Idlewilde Farm's, two Whole Foods, and two Trader Joe's all within 1/2 an hour.
They all have blueberries and they all have scallions. They all have garlic, well, they call it garlic... They all have tomatoes and parsley and basil. They all have lettuce and they have honey. Sort of.

Look at these monster scallions! And the blueberries!!! Small Farm in Stow, Massachusetts grows in accordance with "organic" farming protocol. They are not certified "organic" but that's because they don't want to charge their customers for a label proclaiming what they have been able to see for themselves at the farm for the past 20+ years.
These tomatoes have so much more flavor than artificially ripened supermarket tomatoes. The garlic is usually dried in the greenhouse before sale so it will keep. Dwight was kind enough to let me take some of the fresh. I don't want it to keep. I am going to use the magic ingredient right away. I'll get some more to keep tomorrow.
The honey is raw...and in a honey mustard salad dressing...it, too, is magic.
