That supermarket mushy crap
May 20, 2007There are numerous advantages to living in the countryside. One of them is that you can buy many things straight from farmers, instead of relying on supermarkets.
In my hometown, for instance, we have a ‘cheese farm’. This farm makes its own cheese, and sells this directly to customers, without middle men. His cheese is expensive compared to the (already high quality) cheese in supermarkets (remember, we’re a cheese nation, and I was born in Cheese City), but by god, the taste is so much better. But this isn’t the best example.
The farm that sells strawberries. Dear sweet lord in heaven, his strawberries are the best in the world. Forget that supermarket mushy crap they dare to call strawberries; the ones I buy straight from where they are grown just taste so much fuller and fresher.
It are the little things that remind me of how much I like it here.

Don’t forget, if you’ve got a little land, you can also just plant your own garden. Just like my parents do every summer. And yes, it includes our own home grown strawberries. Very good stuff.

My parents have a huge garden, ad they are indeed growing their own vegetables and fruit. Tastes very good!
I also have a fairly large garden, but I’m not very good with plants (I hate gardening).
