In honor of tonight's Farmers' Market, today's post is about eating green. This is not about sustainable production practices or any of that. If you want to read about that - Google anything with Vermont or nutcases in it and you can read all you want. What we are talking about today is eating green stuff. We believe instead of eating green vegetables you should eat algae. Besides eating green algae lowers you to pretty much the bottom of the food chain. There are more reasons to eat algae:The Price is Right
Any farm pond or capture lagoon near a hog confinement has all the free Algae you can eat. If that weren't convenient enough, you can grow it in your backyard simply by leaving the cover off your garbage can or placing an old tire in your yard.
Harvesting
Harvesting is as simple as cupping your hands and dragging it out of the pond or other media you have grown it in.
Cooking
Cooking is the best part, because no matter what you do to it, you can't make it taste worse.
I think I'll take a tub of it to the Farmers' Market and sell it for a couple of bucks a quart. I think that if I don't make any claims as to its value of food, I may be able to sell it as a gnat repellent.
