Eco Tours

The south east part of Rhode Island is the home of sod farms, nice country drives and in the fall one of the farmers creates “Hay Art”.  While displaying your season’s harvest is a practice that’s  been around since man first harvested crops, this is the first time I’ve ever seen these types of creations.

Late this fall we spent a couple days in Plymouth MA exploring the parks and attractions and came across a nice patch of fall cabbage.  When all of the other blooms are dried up for the season and the leaves are done showing off their fall colors, fall cabbage still brings beauty to the outdoors.

Fresh farm stand vegetables are cheap and healthy for you!  Originally I was going to post this on another one of my blogs but something is wrong with the image uploading function so here goes;

While driving through the State forest in Foxboro the other day we passed by a bunch of green houses that were on a farm and found a little roadside vegetable stand.  Oddly enough most of the roadside stands that I shop at are on the honor system.  Everything has a price and you leave you money in the coffee can if you wish to make a purchase.

The green peppers were 25 cents each and the other peppers were 10 cents each.  Everything in the picture came to a total of $2.00!  When you compare these prices to your local supermarket you will see that roadside farm stands are clearly the winner when it comes to price.  When it comes to taste, these veggies are also the winner.

So, what does this have to do with Eco Tours, I have no clue!  Maybe you can hop on your bike this weekend if the weather is nice and head out to the country and find a nice roadside veggie stand, I’ll give you credit for having an Eco Tour.
