WE made a visit to a very special organic farm. It is located inside the Cuyhoga National Forest through a special lease agreement. So in the beautiful surroundings of Cuyahoga Valley we were able to see a co operative organic farm. While we were there we were able to pick raspberries, potatoes and edemame. The raspberries were picked using the "one for the basket and one for me method". The potatoes were plowed up by the farmer with his tractor and we followed behind. It was like a treasure hunt, gathering them and rubbing off the dirt. And the edemame we pulled whole stalked which we brought home then plucked off boiled whole then shelled and ate when cool. It is a beautiful place and such awonderful experience to gather our own food. Saddly it really drove home the point about how difficult it is to farm on a small personel level and have it be affordable.
