I don't miss them. Fast food and most restaurant serve shipped tomatoes that taste like plastic. Most homegrown tomatoes around here won't be in abundance until July, but I've seen a few at New Eastern Market in Springettsbury Township. I shopped at Twin Pine Farms Country Store this morning for squash, zucchini, tomatoes, carrots and a red pepper. Even though some of it wasn't locally grown, the prices were much less expensive than at the grocery stores I frequent.

I've learned that you really have to be careful with the cost of food. You can get lovely fresh foods at the farmer's markets for half the price. It's worth a shot. If you have time to take a stroll through the countrysides of York County, stop at a roadside stand. There are lots looking to sell their veggies to you.
