First, I just wanted to say hello to everyone as this is my first post. I am really looking forward to reading and posting on these forums as often as possible. I was elated to say the least when I discovered eGullet as cooking is my passion. I must say that I am very jealous of everyone in California and other more temperate areas of the country/world where gardening can be done year-round and farmer's markets are open year-round. This leads me to my first question which goes out anyone who lives in the southern Maine area (or anyone else who wants to chime in ; where do you shop for produce in the winter? I have taken matters into my own hands as I am in the process of building two 4' x8' cold frame greenhouses so I can grow some produce year-round. However, I am becoming increasingly disillusioned by the commercial supermarkets in my area. HELP!! I do realize that what can be grown in the northeast in the winter is very limited but is there anyplace that really takes pride in their quality, organic, at least semi-local produce? Thanks in advance, I am off to contemplate dinner !!
