Grocery Farm to Grocery Veggies

The Boulder Sunflower today has the most beautiful mix of green, yellow (aka wax), and purple beans for $2.99/lb, fresh from Sunflower's own farm in Longmont. Yellow squash from the farm are also available, but I didn't note the price. Featuring of independent local farms at our local grocery stores has been a most welcome trend, but I believe Sunflower is the first store to take it all the way to establishing its own farm, courtesy of Mike Gilliland of Sunflower and Wild Oats fame. (Think I saw a tweet recently that another chain was claiming that title after starting a farm this year, but Sunflower was doing this last year, too.) Hope to see more Sunflower produce to come.
