shop at the Farmer's Market

Found another farmer’s market not far from my place. Well worth exploring.

I have vacation coming up and I want to spend one day really getting to know the farmer’s market downtown. That way I can actually shop there later, and know what I’m doing.

I’ve recently become concerned with my “carbon footprint” and all those other trendy but responsible phrases. It is pretty absurd that I am not shopping at a Farmer’s market since I a) can walk to one from my apartment and b) try to eat high quality and organic food.

For a long time my boyfriend was upset about how food at the Farmer’s Market seems to be more expensive, but it semes like this money is going to local farmers rather than AgriBusiness… any thoughts?

We’re going to try out our first week of Farmers Market food next week, we missed the Sunday market.

When you shop regularly at the same farmer’s market it gives you such a great feeling of community, of being a part of something. You get to know the people who grow your food. You learn about growing seasons. You get to eat all kinds of yummy varieties of things that never appear in the supermarkets. And my favorite part, getting to taste the produce before you buy it.
