Allegra Goodman Quote
Jess gazed at the apples arranged in all their colors: russet, blushing pink, freckled gold. She cast her eyes over heaps of pumpkins, bins of tomatoes cut from the vine, pale gooseberries with crumpled leaves. You could buy a farm.Why would I do that?To be healthy, said Jess.Emily shook her head. I don't think I'd be a very good farmer.You could have other people farm your farm for you, said Jess. And you could just eat all the good things.Emily laughed. That's what we're doing here at the Farmers' Market. We're paying farmers to farm for us. You've just invented agriculture.Yes, but you could have your own farm and go out there and breathe the fresh air and touch the fresh earth.I think that's called a vacation, said Emily.Oh, you're too boring to be rich, Jess said. And I would be so talented!
