Those of you who frequently dine at the restaurant will notice that many of our vegetables are sourced from the Amish Farms in Path Valley, Pennsylvania. Last week during their delivery to the restaurant, our friends at the farm, left behind a special poem they had written for us. It is not only humorous but very cleverly written. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
Always Buy 'Em From A Farm
Is your kale real stale? Is it lookin' kinda pale? Do your beans and peas have a hairy green disease? Did your peaches travel far, just to get to where you are? Not if you get them from a farm!
Is your cauliflower stinky, if you poke it with your pinky? Does your 'off the shelf tomatoe' look more like a rutabaga? Did your maraschino cherries start their trip in Buenos Aires? Not if you get them from a farm!
Is that ear of corn, looking just a tad forlorn? Is that yellow squash, looking like it lacks panache? Are your lima beans tough enough to be marines? Not if you get them from a farm!
If you eat bok choi, have you got the real mccoy? Have your cukes and leeks languished on a shelf for weeks? Do you have some major doubts about your bag of brussel sprouts? Not if you get them from a farm!
If you like your melons sweet, and your beets a treat to eat. If you think berries by the quart, shouldn't need their own passport. Be sure to buy them from your neighbor, they'll be fresh and full of flavor! ALWAYS GET 'EM FROM A FARM!
