In Praise of Farm Trucks

New Morning Farm logoThere must be a lot of farm trucks coming into DC. One I like, and which sets up only a few blocks away so extremely convenient for me, is New Morning Farm, from south-central Pennsylvania. If you're in DC but don't know of them I highly recommend them — their prices are slightly higher than Whole Foods, but the produce is much, much better quality. At the moment peaches and tomatoes are particularly good, as are melons. Nothing like a sweet, juicy, flavorful musk melon with a little salt! Also tomato, cucumber and fresh onions (can't have too many onions) chopped up with some chunks of turkey, with blue cheese dressing, makes a wonderful salad.

I imagine the farm truck operator doesn't balk heavily against a 1 cent raise for tomato pickers. Seems that some companies have just granted them this huge raise, enough to get them minimum wage if they can pick 15 32 pound buckets of tomatoes in an hour. That would be 480 pounds. According to The Economist, Whole Foods is a holdout.
