Wednesday mornings find us on the BART headed not to our usual Montgomery stop but to Civic Center to buy our bag of rabbit food. If it weren't for this market, we would have had to take out a loan by now to pay for the organic produce that, in regular stores, costs MORE THAN MEAT FOR CHRISSAKES. But, Ruth still has that surface to volume ratio that demands to be kept relatively pesticide free and one day someday sometime, the prices will come down. Do we buy exclusively organic? That's nuts, like trying to get through the night with cloth diapers. We just shy away from the more heavily doused crops and feel like we are supporting a revolution at the same time. You can also pick up a bouquet of flowers for less than five bucks, bedding plants at amazing prices, olive oil, nuts, and cheese. Wear a hat, it is always sunnier than you think.

The Civic Center Farmers market is one of my favorite because there's ethnic variety in the crowd that shops there and because the organic produce farmers offer bargains towards the end of market on Sunday--2 for 1, throw this or that in for free--love it.
when ruth becomes president, please ask her to shut down the govt subsidies to the meat industry and, for example, allow the people to access u.s. forest service lands at below market rates so we can all graze in more democratic fashion.
They also have the best honey there.
oh wait, when can you give babies honey?
