I'm going to the farmer every week - joined the CSA program for RI's only certified organic farm. This week I got a big bag of groceries and 1.75 lbs of pastured pork. Weekly share nets at $34 a week for two people and I found that I got more than market value had I shopped at whole foods. So far, I really like the farmer share, and everything is fresh and it forces me to use things I would maybe not select myself (e.g. rainbow swiss chard was in my bag this week)

As for the list -
I'll add the following:

1. Buckwheat groats - delicious with chicken breast or flank steak sauteed in a little olive oil, grated carrots and onions
2. Frozen sweet peas - add 1/2 can of tomato sauce and toss over small pasta and a little chicken breast
3. Ground turkey breast - cook it up and store in a tupperware - add it to scrambled eggs and some fresh veggies with a little fresh potatoes
4. Any Whey protein powder - add to anything for extra protein - in muffins, oatmeal, yogurts, whatever!
5. Cans of pink salmon - make fresh salmon salad with red onions, celery, and baby dill with a little mayo and lemon juice and eat on a bed of mixed greens
6. almond milk - add to smoothies for lower carbs without the yeast of dairy
