Sometimes I ask myself, “If purple carrots are the best carrots for the people, how come everyone buys orange carrots?” It’s kind of like asking, “If high fructose corn syrup is bad for you, why is it...

Last time I was at the Common Market in Frederick, I signed up to become a member. This is a food co-op that supports farms and businesses within 150 mile of the store. You don’t have to be a member...
