A Visit to Alstede Farm

October 17, 2012 by Abra Pappa, MS, CNS, LDN Leave a Comment

There are few things in life that bring me more joy than food from the earth. The freshest possible.

So a day spent on a farm in the pick your own veggie fields is, for me, a truly joyous experience. I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Frankly they are more powerful than my words can ever be.

Cauliflower

Unwrap the leaves to reveal a golden beauty.

Now… what am I going to do with 30 lbs of veggies?? I can promise you my juicer is going to get a workout this week!

If you are interested in visiting the veggie meca you can visit their website here: Alstede Farm, Chester NJ  The PYO veggie fields are open until the end of October and did I mention it's only $1.99/lb for whatever you pick?? Awesome!
