Whole Foods makes a connection

While I was looking for information on the newest WF store, slated to open on Johnson Ferry early 2011, I checked out the organic and locally-produced suppliers.

Did you know, not only do they buy and sell our local farms produce, they often provide loans to help them expand? Now that is a good corporate partnership!



Here is a page from their blog on Basil and recipes for summer.

Yum!!!! High in antioxidants and very easy to grow:

* Start with soil with excellent drainage, lots of sun and ample water.
* Harvest often!
* Remove all flowers, always. These take the flavor out of the leaves.

Why not add some to your garden? Happy eating
