We live in Alkmaar which is a city but not that very big.It’s surrounded by little villages which still have that ‘country feel’ .Every now and then we visit one of those little villages for our jam and vegetable hunt, fresh from the farmer !Last week we went to Sint Pancras, which is a 10 minutes drive from us,and a nice drive with the bicycle .You see some very nice farmhouses with very large gardens of which we can only dream of!!
The nice thing of this village is that the people are friendly and always ready for a talk.Some of them, well actually quite some sell fruit and vegetables in their garden fresh from the vegetable plot.You leave the money in just a jam jar and of you go to the next garden.
My youngest son and I wanted to make fresh tomato soup and some jam,and went for a healthy hunt looking for ingredients to make this.Some very nice people we spoke to ,especially the nice lady that gave us plums, cucumber,and the sweetest cherry tomato's ever for free !!!She even showed us her very nice vegetable garden,and offered my son an ice-cream because of the heat.Where do you find those people these days?If you read this nice lady thanks again !!
Taste the difference,tomato’s fresh and biological, without pesticide.I can honestly say, they were very ,very tasty.
Fresh eggs as well.
A healthy basket ….
We made the tomato soup but didn’t find enough fruit for jam.We are going to the dunes of Egmond aan de zee for some blackberrie picking. 
What is this?A murder? I will tell you next time !
Many greetings from ,ANITA.
