Here's a short clip that features farmer Rick Bishop whose 30-acre farm in Roscoe, New York, is dedicated to growing food that tastes good (i.e., is grown for nutrition rather than appearance, shelf life, etc.) He's one of the few natural/organic farmers I've ever heard mention using a refractometer to measure the Brix (sugar/solids) scale of his vegetables as they are growing—something (imho) all farmers should do. You can read a short interview with him here where he mentions being a student of the soil mineralization theories of the late Dr. Carey Reams.
The market featured in the above video is the famed Union Square Greenmarket in New York City. Here's another video featuring the same farmer, Rick Bishop, and his interaction with people at the Union Square Greenmarket. This is the stuff of life . . .
(Thanks to the Brixman, Rex Harrill, for the lead on this post.)
