I Love Having Relatives Who Grow Their Own Vegetables.

My husband and i got a very nice surprise this week. My mother, who lives on a farm, had WAAAAAAY too many tomatoes this year, and she brought us a 30 pound bag full of them. I'm telling you, these are the best darn tomatoes I've ever tasted, and I will be sad when we run out. They are delicious and sweet, and she has completely ruined me for grocery store tomatoes. LOL We've been eating them on darn near everything, and loving them.
She has neighbours who have chickens on their farms, and we get fresh farm eggs for $2 a dozen. My best friend and I are always buying eggs from Mom's neighbours.
Any of you lucky enough to live on or near a farm? What's your favourite thing to get? We love being able to get fresh food from the farm, rather than supporting the big companies that will just load it with pesticides, and over charge.

We don't have a farm but I am able to raise some edibles in our small garden - tomatoes, sweet potatoes, white yam, squash and some other vegetables depending on the season.

Nice to know that you had good amount and quality of tomates...
I am staying on a farm and we have a small kitchen garden where we get some vegetables. since our farm is situated out skirts we have lot of palces where we get fresh vegetables and we have some poultry farms where from we get fresh Chicken too. There are tanks too where people grow fish and get them for you in case needed! Thus I am very lucky to have all these things near by place!

I don't have a farm but I do have a garden. The cucumbers went crazy this year and I was constantly giving them away.

how lucky! if I didn't have such bad luck keeping plants alive I would grow my own veggies.
I buy from both. we have a nice farmers markets near us. it can be pricey sometimes but the quality of the fruits and vegetables are worth it!
