The distance fresh foods travel from farm to table in an industrialized system also affects their flavor. The chemical constituents of nutrition and flavor are similar (though genetics and growing conditions also contribute to both). Another factor is that the choice of variety also makes a difference the large growers have to choose varieties that ship well, while you can choose a variety for reasons, culinary or otherwise, important to you.
About This Site
This blog is a record of my various gardens in and around Shepherdstown, WV over the past few years. They are classic potagers and the goal has been to produce food for the kitchen year round.
As a blog, it shows the most recent entries first, in reverse chronological order. If you'd rather read the blog in chronological order, from the beginning, click on the link below.- Read Blog From The Beginning
