87th Organic Farmers' Market, Sunday, 5 June 2022, 9 AM to 12 Noon
There appears to be a reasonably good crop of pomegranates at the farm. We see at least a few dozen, hanging pretty.
But many of them are homes for ants and wasps. In the tunnel of the fruit calyx, there are mud nests, laid eggs, and thus an unspoken hope to raise lives beyond self.
Tomorrow, the market turns 87. And it is World Environment Day too to conserve the greatest gift of the planet, the life, for posterity.
We will check the pomegranates and bring only those that are not visible homes of ants and wasps. That may not save the planet.
But that's the least you and us can leave aside.
For any relevant query, message 81051 12990.
