$1 Organic Lettuce

 I found a treasure a couple miles from my house. 
A new Organic Farm that you would never know was there except for a
small A-frame sign that sits at the bottom of a very long drive way & reads
"Organic Lettuce $1". 

A friendly man named Ray greeted Gavin & I and told us about his new farm. 
The land had previously been used for Horses & where we were standing 
used to be the stables which explained why Gavin had found on the ground a 
very old spur placed next to one of the beds of lettuce. 

We bought all of this lettuce freshly pulled from the earth for $2.
Then Ray asked Gavin if he would like to keep the spur & of course 
I translated my sons silence as an absolute YES!  
I'm not sure yet what I'll do with it but I will keep you posted once I figure that out. 


This photo is short some lettuce that was put to use earlier in a salad & a sandwich
Next time I return to the farm I'll be sure to bring the camera!
