i would love to say locally grown, but i have to go with organic. of course, if my local farmers were organic, like at my old farmers' market, this would not be an issue.
2. Favourite way to prepare potatoes:
boiled with margarine; mashed with soymilk; fried for breakfast.

4. Name your favorite recipe that is a tradition in your family:
home made irish creme. ive veganized it, of course.
