At the market on Carson Street in Pittsburgh. The next day, I roasted some kolhrabi. Photo by Rainer Henri.
I have loved bags since I was a small child. “Baggie Annie” they’d called me as I dragged around my tiny red suitcase with my “Goin’ to Grandma’s” tote full of Barbies inside. This was a daily occurrence regardless of any trips to Grandma’s house. Of course I’m going to grow up to do something with bags.
And that’s why you’re reading a post on VeggieTotes.com. It’s kind of a cataclysm of my love of vegetables, my unexplainable attraction to bags, and my utter disgust of plastic bag waste. It just sort of happened one afternoon when my husband and I decided that there simply weren’t enough people proclaiming their love for fresh, organic, local food – via tote bags. There can never be enough ways for all of us to shout from the rooftops just how much we love kale. Frankly, I’m not sure rooftop shouting would earn you the envy of your fellow veg shoppers, but I’ll bet one of these bags will. Enjoy!
I’ll see you at the market.
Sincerely,
Anne “I love people who love beets” Richardson
