I was out of town (in Seattle and Kansas City) for weeks 3 and 4. Week 3, I bequeathed my produce to a friend, but he flaked. Week 4, I bequeathed it to some random person I’ve never met, whom I found online on a discussion board about the procurement of local farm-fresh food of other sorts. She took the above picture of what she collected at my request. So that’s week 4.
Here’s week 5.
And here’s the sign explaining what to get, and not to be greedy.

When I was back in Seattle circa 2003, I stayed for a while with Michael Rosellini (previous post), followed by Jeff Toce and a crew of people whose main bond was that they had either gone to Carleton, or Burning Man, or both (that place, known as Zhouse, still exists).
