Genevieve Angelides, brilliant sunflowers in hand, enjoys her visit
to the Kaiser Permanente farmer’s market. The market is
open from 9 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. every Thursday. Genevieve
goes there for fruits and vegetables. “Vendors
are friendly,” she says, “and produce is very fresh with
lots of variety.” She also goes to the farmer’s market
in Centerville, near the train station.

Just a thought about growing
your own plants at home. It’s impractical on a large
scale for many of us because of time, space, environmental constraints,
or simply because we no longer have the physical ability to do so.
In such cases I’d suggest getting a few small pots capable of holding one plant each and sticking
a plant into each of them. African violets and some herbs provide good examples.
Put six or so of the potted plants on a small wheeled table (a tea cart, for example) and sit
it in an out-of-the way corner of the room. Move it out into the
sunlight once a day, then move it back before the plants gets too much sun.
Keep the plants fed and watered, and viola! you're a farmer.
My mother used this technique with great success until late in her 80s.
