Really cool! Happy Girl has been making pickles and putting up preserves for longer than you’ve been using the word locavore.

Happy Girl works closely with Live Earth Farm, and so do we! Live Earth offers a traditional CSA (community supported agriculture) subscription and their produce is out of this world good. You can taste their goods (berries if you are really lucky) and get pricing and other information about the CSA at the party.
