What's Fresh, What's Hot, What's Not

Why do we need each other?

Because farm stands are proliferating, so I'm visiting them, poking, prodding, squeezing, and smelling. And then I come back and share what I've found. This, you fresh produce lovers, is what you need to know:

How does it taste?
How does it hold up in cooking?
Is it worth the price?
Is it organically grown? Does it matter?
How long does it last?
What's fresh from the harvest next week?

I'll tell you what I've found within 10 miles of where I live---Newport, Rhode Island---and you tell me what you've found, from your neighborhood. Just make sure to tell me where you live.
