We savored the fresh cucumbers, the succulent lettuce, and the sweet peppers that came straight off the vine. As a child, I once asked her, “Why don’t we sell these for money or trade with neighbors?” feeling it was a very novel concept at the time. Little did I know what I proposed was a rudimentary definition of the locavore movement, which encourages people to eat locally grown or produced products as much as possible.
