“City Feed” me.
As I was leaving the farm around 12:15 I took this shot. I think it basically sums up the feel of the day which was bright, sunny and beautiful.
Per usual, I was STARVING when I set out on my journey back home. I ate this cookie before I had even put my back pack on and sipped on this coconut water on the bus. This was a new brand for me (it was on sale at Whole Foods) and I have to say that I can’t tell the difference between VitaCoco, Zico, and this O.N.E. I only drink the plain because I think the flavor is perfectly subtle and I don’t find myself craving any added fruit. I wish this had been just a tad cooler but all in all it was a great way to replace the electrolytes I had lost sweating on the farm.
*please pardon my dirty hands, I get dirty on the farm
I took a bus to Forest Hills and then decided to walk the rest of the way home. It was so nice out and my ankle was feeling strong. I also knew that I wanted to stop along the way and pick up a key ingredient for what I had in mind for lunch.
Having only seen the massive sign on my runs and never venturing in, I knew it was time to try City Feed and Supply. I don’t know what I have been waiting for, this place is amazing!
The store is set up like a small grocery store with fresh produce from all local farms. They also specialize in fair trade coffee, bakery items, and a huge sandwich selection. There was a very cool vibe in here with tables to sit and eat at.
I exercised a huge amount of will power and exited with only what I came for.
I took home 4 tomatoes that were split and not worthy of the Farmer’s Market or CSA. These “seconds” became a top notch lunch!
A simple Caprese Salad:
- chopped tomato
- chopped fresh mozzarella cheese
- torn basil
- Olive Oil
- Balsamic
- Salt
- Pepper
My second tasting platter of the day:
- Dr. Praeger tex mex veggie burger
- Scoop of black bean dip (TJ’s)
- One very large carrot
- One serving of Nut Thins crackers (pecan variety)
- Caprese Salad
I can’t believe I have never had a tomato this color before, total eye candy (and mouth candy for that matter)!
I’ll probably be eating more salad for dinner and may or may not decide to post since it will probably look the same!
This place looks awesome! I need to pay it a visit for sure. Nice find!
Love the last picture! Amazing!
Made In VT! The best.
I thought you might like the VT love.
[...] a good burrito and had heard only good things about this place. It is located right across from City Feed and Supply, which Meg hadn’t had a chance to visit yet, so we poked our heads in there [...]
[...] We left Doyles feeling happy and full and while we thought about cabbing it back, we ended up walking the whole way with the exception of one pit stop. When I saw this cute City Feed and Supply I just had to step inside for a quick visit and a much needed bottle of water. I didn’t know this one existed since I have only been to the one on Center Street! [...]
