I live unprocessed by buying from my local farmer’s market!
Vickie says
Such an awesome collection of cheeses.
And, we are a family who loves cheese..unprocessed living, clean living.
I live unprocessed as much as possible and cook from scratch every night like my grandma.
I ask myself, if grandma didn’t find this ..what ever..in the store..then it’s processed.
We grow our own fruit and vegetables..shop local sustained, fishing a lot, and more.
Saturday you will find us at the green market.
I’ve noticed a lot of arlos commercials this past two weeks.
Excited to try and win!
