Green Gulch Farm is tended by the strong and willing backs of young people with a common interest in the Buddhist faith and religion.
Buddhism includes, but is not limited to -- ethical conduct and altruistic behaviour, devotional practices, ceremonies and the invocation of bodhisattvas, renunciation of worldly matters, cultivating continuous mindfulness, meditation, physical exercises, study, and the cultivation of wisdom.

The boxes may say Broccoli, but there's actually Chard inside.
Green Gulch Farm organic produce is available seasonally, from May through October. Marin Organic coordinates distribution for the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market in San Francisco, and other markets here in Marin County.

One of the workers was puttering nearby and I complimented him on his very artistic cabbages. He told me this is Radicchio.

If I had wanted a taste and had taken a bite I wouldn't have had to worry about a trace of pesticides, only the scorn of three Buddhist farmers on a slightly higher level.

I'll have more photos of Green Gulch tomorrow -- some from the gardens of flowers that are better smelled than munched...

I'm not sure I could have resisted tasting the radicchio. It's so pretty.
