This weekend we made our first collection of produce from Village Organics in Elk Grove Village. I found Carolyn Dickson's site while looking on www.localharvest.com. Two years ago Carolyn turned her garden into an organic garden, growing seasonal produce for her family and the community. She believes that quality organic produce should be available to everyone at an affordable price. Her vegetables are grown without chemical pest control and synthetic fertilizers. Her organic methods include crop rotation, composting, vermiculture(worm composting), use of beneficial insects, and companion planting.
So we collected Kale, heirloom lettuce, arugula (rocket!), broccoli raab and podded peas and were VERY impressed with the quality of the produce! Last night, in a hurry to use at least one of these, we made pizza. Wholewheat bases, organic pizza sauce from Trader Joes, cheese, sausage from the farmers market and fresh arugula and basil on top. Very nice.
