If I were to live in the euphemistically named Big Apple, I would be trying to buy as much fresh produce from local farms in New Joisy, upstate NY, and The Guy Land.<br /><br />Don’t forget that the diversity in our chain supermarket stores is due to the fact that they see a revenue generator in stocking packaged ethnic foods to cater to the growing international community. And yes, it is wonderful to explore and partake in those foods. No different then going back thousands of years to the spice traders who made a living hauling exotic spices from far away lands to their homelands. By the way, you CAN purchase local salt from the Maine Sea Salt Company. http://www.maineseasalt.com/natural-sea-salt.html<br /><br />Personally, I like to know where and how my food is grown. Many local farmers are now growing some of the not so common produce. And they are supplying local ethnic restaurants and groceries with their produce. In our garden we are growing two kinds of Pok Choi, Kale, French Melons and many of the regional standards. <br /><br />On a recent stay in Boston I was surprised to see so many rooftop produce gardens from the top of my hotel room. Isn’t this just another “way and means to broaden the scope of human creativity”? I invite you to visit a local blogger’s site: http://containergardening.about.com/<br /><br />Until you grow your own food in an urban environment then you may not realize the “truly meaningful exercise in the practice of urban living.” But actually, I didn’t know that one had to “practice” living in an urban environment.Ken Segalnoreply@blogger.com
