Lunch fit for a farmer

At City Feed and Supply, a corner grocery in Jamaica Plain, the Farmer's Lunch sandwich ($5.49) is served on a bacci roll, which is about as big as a boccie ball and tough to wrap your maw around. Not a terrible trait, since taking small bites makes the sandwich last longer. The Farmer's Lunch is tasty: full of sharp cheese and Granny Smith apples, grainy mustard, and slices of pickled green tomatoes, which a local woman makes exclusively for the store. You can chew away at it on the benches in front of City Feed, enjoy the spring air, and chat with the passersby, all of which will restore your strength to get back to the fields -- or the office.
