Last month we asked you to submit photos of the contents of your fridge. Only one lone soldier stepped up to the task. We salute Joanna Sapir for coming “clean.”

Here’s what Joanna had to say:
“So you guys are actually asking me to share what’s in my fridge? Do you know that you just put the soapbox out for me? I’m kind of a zealot about food…the local, sustainably grown kind, that is. I believe strongly in eating food that is good for your health, yes, but is also good for the earth, for farmers and farm workers, and for local communities here and in the Third World (as opposed to good for agribusiness and other transnational corporations).”
“So here’s some of my refrigerator’s contents (pictured). More than half of my produce comes in a weekly box from Riverdog Farm, which is in Yolo County, as part of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box. The other half comes from my weekly Farmer’s Market – I go to the Temescal one in Oakland. In the picture you can see some of Riverdog’s bounty: red chard, a bunch of spinach, carrots (yes, they’re still covered in dirt), baby parsnips, a head of red lettuce, and some leeks. There are a couple oranges from Blue Heron Farm and some apples (I’ve been buying, like 25 a week this winter!) from Pinnacle Farms. There’s also some sesame paste (not local, but from a brand whose nut butters I find superior), some yam soba (also not local) and some Red Tail Ale from Ukiah. In the dairy department we’ve got some yogurt from Straus Dairy, a wonderful Marin County sustainable dairy operation, and some milk from Organic Valley, which is a nation-wide cooperative – a real cooperative – of dairy farmers.”
We dare ask, “What’s in your fridge?” Do share your photos (email Steve: info@icechamber.com).
