What the rotation looks like

Where it comes from. We buy our food ourselves, every week, by hand. There is no standing order and no truck at the back door — we go out and choose it. Which is why nothing set in front of you on a Thursday was sitting in our cooler on Monday, and why, come spring and fall, most of the garlic, greens and tomatoes on your plate were grown by neighbors a few miles from this table. Some of it was picked the day before you sat down.
