This is awesome! If you have a few farms nearby, you should check them out! One of the best things we’ve done is discover farms near us. It’s a really good escape from the cities and suburbs around them and it brings you back into contact with nature, fresh clean air and most importantly fresh food directly from the farmer. It’s better for them for you to buy it right there and exchange the money immediately. What I would also ask them, if it’s not too far away, is if they do crop shares or community supported (or shared) agriculture. They call them CSA’s here but what you do is pay the farm a set amount of money and they give you a share of their food they grow every week. It’s usually cheaper than buying it at their store or buying it at the grocery store. It’s such an awesome way to support the farms, get cleaner and fresher food and it builds a relationship with the farmers that I think is incredibly important. You get to sample things, get access to events they are planning and all kinds of awesome stuff. We have done a CSA every year for the past 3 years and it’s life changing how great they are! The money might be a little high up front but it’s cheaper in the long run.
I want to look up to see if we have any lavender fields around. That looks awesome to try! Our son loves flowers so I think it would be great to give that a try.
Yeah, we've been to a farmer the day I published this. It was good food, but a lot more expensive than I expected. Not everything, but most. I thought that that village was perfect because it's known for the farmers fields where you can pick your own stuff.. I expected it to be cheaper, but we'll go hunt for another place a bit other direction and see if this is the same there. It may be because this one was still located fairly close to city and even next to a very busy touristic little place near the big city. I can imagine they can ask higher prices there. But still good to support a farmer directly, rather than buying in supermarket. The quality was defo better!
I've read about this thing you mention, but I think I came across an add on FB or something. I clicked on it and discovered we could have a membership for the harvest for example for avocados in Spain. I didn't find anything local, but it's worth looking into. thanks for the reminder :)
I can't speak from experience yet about the lavender fields, but everyone here does it and repeat it every year as well. I plan on having a nice photoshoot at the same time .. don't forget to bring your own tools to cut them (I read here that it's needed) just a tip in case that's the same there..

Thank you! I tried using this command earlier this week after buying (more than 1001) Engage tokens, but nothing happened. Will try it again later, thanks for the tokens :-) always appreciated!
