(Granted, I've not seen an onion for sale with a green top still attached, but when the farmer's market opens up in the spring again, I'll keep my eyes open for one.) I can't wait to hear how the farm tour goes. I would love to do something like that. I need to do some more research and see if there's anything like that going on in our area.

But I am a big fan of the goat cheese so far. Also, last weekend I saw this onion at the farmers market; it still had a big, fresh, green top attached to it. So I bought the darn thing! Well, I cooked up the top part in olive oil with the top part of the beets, threw in a little salt and pepper, and called it a rather tasty side dish. :-) I'll get back to you on the root veggies themselves soon! p.s. The co-op is organizing a local farm tour this weekend, and I'm pretty excited to see a real food source so close to Orlando. Well, I’m not sure about the beets yet.

Jesse brought home goat milk from the store, and I drank a glass (I was thinking about Heidi and Clara and the healing powers of mountain air and goat milk, and since we live near the beach, well...). It was weird at first, but after the first glass, it was almost the only thing I could eat or drink without feeling nasty. So, now I'm a big fan. Ooh, baby gold beets? I've never had those. How do you cook them, and are they delicious?

(I think I ordered the spreadable herbed goat cheese this week.) I'm a little wary of goat milk to begin with, whether or not it's pasteurized, but I do intend to give it a shot one of these days. I'm not sure where it falls in your inclusions and exclusions of root vegetables, but I'm picking up baby gold beets from the co-op this week. :-) The co-op down here sells raw goat milk and a variety of raw goat cheeses.
