Went wandering in my new neighborhood and found several ethnic shops, along with some small grocers. Easy to buy local, in this case! Harder to know if it’s more organic (or more fair trade) but it’s definitely more interesting, roaming through shelves of unknown vegetables and grains…. 6 months ago

Yesterday we went to Reno’s Italian Festival, and there was an Italian Farmer’s Market there. We bought some Muscat Grapes from Sanger, California. I don’t think I’ve ever had this kind of grape before, but they are fantastic! 7 months ago

Today we bought apricots and Rainier cherries from Ridgley, California and a huge tomato.

The apricots were delicious…we should have bought more, they are all gone already! 10 months ago

Oh I can hardly wait until we are living in Reno full time! We were just there for a week, and saw so many farmer’s markets in town! We stopped at a small one in the parking lot of the local mall, and I was amazed at all the yummy fruits and vegetables! (What a difference, being just an hour or so from California.) We bought a half a dozen apricots which came from Yuba City…organic and totally delicious! 22 months ago
