Wild Onion Farms

I've been buying Wild Onion Farm's delicious produce and eggs at the Downtown Wake Forest Farmers Market on Saturdays the past few years. Elizabeth tends to pick her veggies on the young-ish side when they're tender and there's little or no waste, and she somehow manages to get nearly all the sand and dirt off. (Caterpillars are welcome; my fish and turtles love 'em). I especially like her taste in picking new varieties of things I've never seen or tried, like tatsoi, russian kale, and interesting tomatoes and squashes. I also enjoy her informative emails each week to CSA members on the farm's trials and triumphs, and advice on how to keep and cook her food. To me, having dedicated local farmers like Elizabeth growing nutritious food is the most crucial form of "health insurance" there is.
