Market Farming

[dave.kathy AT att.net]

My Farmer's Market customer, Mrs. Choi, Korean, was overjoyed to see I had 
mustard greens ("Osaka purple" variety).  I'd only brought a few bunches to 
the Market as a test, and just a few days later, on our invitation, Mrs. Choi 
came out to our farm and bought ALL the Osaka purple mustard plants left in 
that 30-ft row.  She uses them to make kim shi (very roughly speaking, Korean 
saurkraut).  The purple tint was new to her, but she says it makes a lovely 
pink kim shi that all her friends exclaim over...  She also was interested in 
our Indian corn, though it turned out what she really wanted was that high-
starch blue corn like they grow in New Mexico.  Not Korean, of course, but 
apparently she and Dr. Choi somehow got to like it living here in America.  
So, you never know...
