Produce Admirers Mugs

Highlights From The Annual Central Park Country Fair

'It's not easy being green on grass!'

One Man's Meat is Another Man's Poetry

Our farmer brought fresh beans, tomatoes, corn and squash this week. Nice. You should have bought into the farm share. I've got my own farmer. Mine's cheap. Mine's cheaper. Thanks, mom. You can't take more zucchini?

Raptures

"Just a couple of ninety cent seed packets, and you can have fresh garden vegetables for heaven knows how long."

Farmer and FIsherman

"Oh, no - not another farmer's market!"

'I'm sorry, your cheese has not matured enough!'

Get on with it!

Who's gone medieval on our ass?

Browned off cows. They can't pull a cracker.

Berries, Roots, Tubers, Stems, Leaves.

'I'm collecting goat poop for my strawberries.' 'I always put cream and sugar on mine.'

Grocery Shopping

Produce Market. Lots of things are going on with the produce. The tomatoes, as usual, are having a fruit or veggie identity crisis. Though it makes no sense, the apples and oranges are constantly comparing themselves to one another. The plums are happy. Any assignment or position that comes their way is always the best. That potatoes want couches, of course. And the bananas think they should run the market government. Sure, a banana republic!

"YAY! FREE SHIPPING!"

"I'm now too old to produce milk, and I can't afford to retire as yet, so I've had to diversify..."

Cow Pollen

Cow yin yang spots.

Harvesting the folder crop in Manila

'But why do we have to plough the fields and scatter when we get everything from Tesco?'

Boy, this stuff's hard to swallow!

"You can't beat a ploughman's lunch"

"Hey, you two, get a barn!"

F&E Produce. I had interesting customers today. First, a beautician checked out the purple potatoes and yellow beets. Ah, a hair stylist inspected the colored roots! That card shark bought some fruit. Two pears, I'll bet! A journalist was searching for an onion alternative. He needs leeks! And labor negotiators requested to increase their usual vegetable order. They asked for a celery hike, eh? I think the customers are the best part of this job. Yeah, you never know who will turnip!

Cover Design for the Savoy (No. 4)

"Yeah, I won the Finest Quality Wool award, but it was a tough competition: There were contestants from all over Australia and New Zealand..."

'I'd prefer it if the view was closer.'

Hey there! I thought you guys were extinct!

'If you want produce grown on the farm down the road you'll have to go to Kuala Lumpur.'

There goes Farmer Ceutical.
