[PLUG-TALK] Online local produce shopping?

[David Mandel]

Nancy and I will be growing more of our own greens and things.  That takes
care of the delivery problem and gives us reassurance about who handled
them.  Of course, keeping a study supply is complicated but I'll learn to
do better than I have in the past.  I'm also changing the goal of our
garden from strictly growing luxury foods that are difficult to get in
stores to growing things to enhance our food security.  Just don't know
what the future will bring or how long we will have to isolate ourselves,
but I'm betting it will go on much longer than officials are admitting.  I
think our whole world has just changed.
