The closest organic store is one town over - totally independent, not a chain. It's small but they've got good stuff, tho it is pricey. I love summer because that's when the farmers market starts up - I shop there weekly & get fantastic produce. I've learned to freeze the Swiss chard because I've become very fond of it.

The funny thing about swiss chard is that unlike lettuce and kale, which are cool weather crops, swiss chard will grow all summer long, and yet I seldom ever see swiss chard for sale. I know there's not as much demand in general for swiss chard as there is for lettuce and kale, but it's a very nice vegetable. It cooks up quickly, and even the stems are tender and tasty. Yum... Some swiss chard right out of my back yard sounds wonderful. Since I'm not dealing with constantly aching legs, knees, ankles, and hips since retiring a few months ago, I'm hoping I'll feel recovered enough to doing some gardening this year.
