Here in Florida we can get all sorts of local fresh veggies over a pretty long season. I get most of my veggies from a local farm called Black Hog Farm. They also have pastured pork, beef, chicken and eggs. I do have to pay $12/month for membership but it's great to get freshly picked local produce. They deliver once a week - to certain areas they deliver directly to homes. I'm not in that area so for me they deliver to the local YMCA (less than 2 miles from my house) and I pick up there. For YMCA delivery you need to order at least $10.00 a week (not hard to do). In the last couple weeks I've gotten fresh spinach, kale, carrots - and one my personal favorites: Brussels sprouts! I peel them, dice them into quarters, and then saute (in fat of your choice) with garlic and slivered almonds. One of my faves, and so unlike the frozen-into-a-block-and-then-boiled-to-death Brussels sprouts I remember with a shudder from childhood.
