When the pate and salami come from the farm's organic, heritage-breed pigs; when the pickled eggs come from the farm's chickens; when the pickled peppers and okra come from the farm's gardens — it's enough to make me weep. And bow down in thanks for a local place that cares so deeply about what it serves.

Lee and Collier counties both have under one percent of the state's cow-calf operations, while Charlotte has 1.27 percent and Hendry has 3.8 percent, ...
