Lately we've been bringing so much produce back from the farmers' markets that we're having trouble going through it all. We tried to put the brakes on a few weeks ago, telling the farmers' that we could only spend a certain amount, but most of them are just giving us the same volume and charging less for it. I'm guessing that the reason they've been having so much left over at the end of the day is the same reason we've been having trouble going through it all: folks just aren't buying as much as they used to. It's forced us to improve our systems for rotating and keeping track of stock. So far we've wasted very little, and I want to keep it that way. Stepping back for a moment, I realize that too much great food is truly a wonderful problem to have.
