Before hitting the county fair, I re-visited a new store in town,
Ploughboy Foods. Whoa! Whatta difference since they first opened a
little under two years ago. Then, it was little more than a fledgling
hole-in-the-wall. I've seen bigger fruit stands. Now, it's all grown
up. A serious all organic mkt, and looks like it will do enough
business to make it through this Winter, unlike last year when they
closed for a few months. Also, unlike all the crappy health food
stores, fulla highly processed health foods (a dubious term), this one
has some serious eats. I bought a grass fed rib-eye steak, some local
summer sausage, some absolutely killer swiss cheese, a French
baguette, and a big ol' cabbage. They have about 10X more stuff than
when they first opened and business was good. I actually hadda wait
in line to check out. It was specially nice to see the large
selection grass fed beef cuts, as this is cattle country and almost no
one carries the stuff. We have one very large and prosperous meat
company, here, and "grass fed" is like a dirty word to them. The
health food stores carry nothing but GF hamburger and some elk cuts.
I particularly enjoy the fact that Ploughboy (old English) sits right
across the street from Safeway, IMO the most evil mkt on the planet.
Yay! Go PB Inc.
