Each week I get a bag of vegetables grown by teenagers in a small town about an hour outside of Taipei. The middle and high school students who grow, harvest and sell them are part of a program aimed at helping at-risk teens to learn a trade, feel good about themselves and stay out of trouble. It's like a CSA with extra karma points.
My friend who got me signed up for the deal believes that all the crops are pesticide free. I found this little guy in my last batch. I decided I can take that as proof that the veggies are indeed grown without chemicals. I named him Morgenstern and set him up outside to begin his life in the city.
