Wow! A shout-out on the podcast! (and yes, I listen to every episode…and no…Mike doesn’t pay me to [yet])
The best way to know what veggies are in season are to grow your own – I’ve got a small (4’x8′) raised-bed garden in my backyard. I’ve got 2 Kale plants that I cannot keep up with – they apparently flourish on the right amount of sunlight and neglect…and I grab about 4 leaves of kale almost each day for my lunch and morning smoothie.
This morning, I broke out the candles, queued the George Michael, and “massaged the kale” (not a euphemism) – my wife asked what I was doing (awkward)…but wow, BIG difference in my lunch-time salad…so, I’m sold.
In all seriousness – before this podcast for the past few years, I’ve tried to eat more healthy. The specific thing I’ve noticed are far fewer canker sores – eating more fruit/vegetables stopped that in very short order. That very small thing convinced me to keep doing what I was doing.
Mike and team – please keep doing what you’re doing; very much appreciated.
I’m also a HUGE fan of the local farmer’s market – I’ve been a member of a CSA (Community-Supported-Agriculture) for the past several years…basically, I pay some money up-front and get a share of the harvest.
Benefits: I get to know the farmer who is growing and picking my vegetables and see them on a weekly basis; I have in-season (organic in my case) veggies each week – some I eat, some I freeze/can; unusual-to-me vegetables (swiss chard, okra) I’m forced to look for recipes that have now become family-favorites.
Potential downsides: you pay up front and if the growing season is too-wet, too-hot, too-dry…you may or may not get as much as you’d hoped for.
Still, for me, the benefits far outweigh the downside. Plus, normally picking up your CSA happens at a farmer’s market – so lots of opportunity to pick up stuff that is fresh-picked (often that morning) and in-season.
LOVE this episode!!! Working like a crazy lady in the salt mines all day, a gal needs energy! This was very helpful! Going to get me some Yerbamate tea! You guys are the best!
I love the Profit First Podcast, and have listened to every one. This episode is an exception. 1 star. Lots of inaccurate information from the guest…
Thanks for that feedback. What improvements can you suggest for the tips?
