CSAs (community supported agriculture groups) have nothing on these guys. The floating markets of the Mekong Delta are an amazing sight.

It was 2013, and Courtney (my wife) and I were your typical, 30-something American couple. In respectable, 9-to-5 desk jobs, we were climbing the professional ladder, saving for a house, and talking about starting a family.
Instead, we quit their jobs, put everything into storage, and left our home in Washington, D.C., in search of adventure, personal fulfillment, and good eats. We spent a year motorcycling through Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. We hiked the Himalaya in Northern India. We explored the outer reaches of Indonesia, drove across the empty quarter, and much more.

We just watched Frederick Wiseman’s “Menus-plaisirs: Les Troisgros,” a four-hour (yes) documentary on the Troisgros family and their restaurants in France. Much of the focus is on the father’s Michelin three-star restaurant, run with one of his two sons, with segments on the farm-to-table agriculture which supports the enterprises. This shot is from a short segment on how local cheeses are matured; it's one of the segments focusing on how the food gets to the restaurant (there are others on cattle, goats, vineyards, produce farms). Lots of details on discussing menus, what to buy, wine tastings, accommodating diet needs, food prep, staff talking to patrons and so on -- even, at one point, a staff "HR" type discussion on giving proper respect to others. It ends with the Dad talking to a table about the history of the restaurant and how its current location was chosen in order to give the sons a future less bound by the family history. We DVRd it on PBS -- maybe you can find it on their Passport service.

A purple Fiji street market tableau bursting with vibrant purple eggplants artfully stacked in colorful bowls. The repetition of shapes and hues creates a hypnotic visual rhythm, while the modest price signs whisper everyday life and commerce. Subtle texture details—scratches, dimples, stem scars—add organic charm, grounding the image in real, tactile reality. With its saturated tones and evocative composition, this photo elevates the routine of produce into a bold visual statement. It’s purple color, pattern, and story—all on a humble Fiji market stall.
A vibrant display of purple eggplants neatly stacked at a farmers market, each bunch marked with the price of just $5. The rich color, fresh texture, and rustic feel capture the essence of local produce, celebrating the artistry of everyday life at the market. Perfectly aligned with the traditions of farm-to-table, this photo brings out the beauty of fresh vegetables and the atmosphere of community marketplaces.
An active 4Her in livestock and meat judging competitions, Jerri Parker started her cow herd in high school with land rented from a neighbor. She now operates a diversified farm in Cromwell, Oklahoma, with hoop houses, vegetables, chickens, eggs, and beef. And over the years, the farm's "GJ Natural Beef" has been sold at local health food stores, farmers markets, Oklahoma Food Coop, and in her on farm store.
Jerri passed her 4H experience and passion for farming on to Calvan, her youngest child, who was managing over 300 laying hens by high school graduation - now a part of the family farm. A mom and retired teacher, Jerri now invests time in farming watermelons and cantaloupes for a Farm to School program. She is working with the USDA Natural Resources Service to contruct a 30 x 96 foot hoop house to expand the Farm to School program produce.
Jerri says: “I want folks to ‘know their farmer.’ To truly know the person raising your food, know their practices, know their values. With this farmer, (pointing to herself) you become part of my family."

Got these turnips in my CSA box last week and had to learn to cook them for the first time. It was fun to think of new recipes!
