For Veggies Green, There's Mother's and Not Mother's

Claire gave a rousing rendition of due props to the local Foodtown in an earlier edition. Well-deserved to be sure. But there's still the largely unspoken issue of fresh greenery and plump root vegetables in that town they call Food.
But, reader, oh travelling reader. Feast upon all things rooted, flowering and fruitful just across the dang street, man.
It's Mother's Farm, Mother's for short. Wherein the basics are always covered - bananas and plantains, three types of pears, six kinds of apples, nine leafy vegetables with that just rinsed feeling. Peppers. Scallions, Shallots, fresh thyme, basil in a wet-bottomed bucket. And, on occasion, you will be rewarded by the strange and lovely, or the abundant and cheap.

So, do what you need to at Food Town. But get on over to Mother's for your freshies. Eat them up, come back do it all over again and you'll still have change for a $20.

Mother's Farm - Greenpoint Ave. and the corner of 42nd St.
