 | | If 10,000 Chicago Biters switch to sustainable gardening methods for one year, we'll divert the weight of seven riding mowers in pesticides from entering the environment. |
|  |  | | Some scholars suggest the forbidden fruit was actually a fig, not an apple, since Adam and Eve later used fig leaves to cover themselves. | | |

|  The Bite
Looking to savor some not-so-forbidden fruit? Snack on Greenhouse B&B’s fresh strawberries (Did someone say shortcake? With home-roasted organic coffee?), then spend a sinfully delicious Memorial Day afternoon lounging in the inn’s hammock. Owners Mark and Guia Hoffman grow everything from carrots to currants in their organic garden and orchard – just 90 minutes south of the city – which runs on a permaculture system, meaning the waste from one plant is the food for another. Plus the Kempton B&B uses only organic cleaning products in its four rustic bedrooms (campers are welcome on the grounds too). Escape the garden for a day of hiking or biking at nearby Kankakee River State Park, but be sure to return for apple cider pressed from last fall’s crop. Talk about temptation. |
