I recently ran across an article titled “Why Should You Buy Organic Produce” that listed the top 10 reasons to do this. It brought to mind that we began featuring organic produce as well as locally-raised meats on our menus at Green Mountain a couple years ago.

While this holiday has inspired drinkables such as green beer and, ahem, Shamrock Shakes, here at Green Mountain, I can’t think of any way better to celebrate than one of Robyn’s liquid salads.
