New Gift Basket Source: Seedling Orchard

I’ve been looking for a good organic gift basket to either assemble on my own or order online.

So I was pleased to find yet another lead on the Chicago Locavores site…this one steering me to Seedling Orchard, an organic farm near South Haven, Mich.

Gotta love their credo:

• We sell only locally grown fruit
• Our fruit is left on its tree or vine until ripe and ready to eat
• We grow carefully and hand-pick to ensure the most natural piece of fruit
• We test and taste to ensure we deliver great tasting fruit

I’m certain I’ve tried their fruits and ciders and their gift baskets look super cute.

Seedling is yet another reason for me to play hooky on a Wednesday so I can check out Chicago’s Green City Market…where all the with-it chefs shop for the choicest locally produced produce. Seedling apparently is among the vendors mid-week, when the market is at its best.
