My produce lady is better than yours

We went to hear Wendell Berry read last week at the Masonic Temple in Salt Lake. He read a piece about the economy which I want to post as soon as he's done writing it (Berry was still working on it).

But the best part, my farmer emailed me earlier that week to let me know about the reading.

Kathy and I already knew, but it made me happy to know my produce lady was looking out for me.

You can't get that at Wal-Mart.

I learned this year that 'neighborhood' also bears the same connotations as 'brotherhood.' It's not just about location, it's about friendship, and helping each other out.

Clifford Family Farms is at 1461 N. 2100 W. Provo.


The farm sells eggs, honey, seasonal vegetables, and homemade soap and lotion.

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty! Most times, I do shop at wherever is most convenient. But I consider myself called to repentance. "It's not just about location, it's about friendship, and helping each other out." I do value that, and I shouldn't compromise just because I plan my time poorly.

Shop wise=Love yourself.
