Go to the farmer's market once a week

Okay, I was putting this off for a while. Really it was my boyfriend who finally got me to do it. He took me to the farmer’s market near his house. I loved it, and it totally got me inspired to get back on the bandwagon with this goal.

I bought:
2 cucumbers
2 tomatoes
1 bunch of celery
1 avocado
strawberries
fresh dairy cream cheese (OMG amazing)
...and a bunch of gerber daisies from my bf!

As my boyfriend said, buying things at the farmer’s market just makes you feel so good. :D

This goal will officially begin on Tuesday, when there is an awesome weekly Farmer’s Market near me that I have been to many times before. This week I didn’t need any veggies/don’t have money. lol.

...is having good food in the house! I’ve started eating healthy veggie sandwiches for lunch consisting of tomato, spinach, cucumber and sometimes avocado slices on whole grain sourdough bread with dijon mustard. Now that I’ve upped my veggie intake, it’s time to take the next step and start buying those veggies from the farmer’s market. Another good challenge will be to buy things that look yummy and then actually cook them. I see this goal as having the potential to change my whole outlook on food.

After adjusting the weekly routine, 2 and sometimes 3 local markets are being visited regularly. Good things grow in Ontario!

Now I know where and when it’s held… that’s a start. Now this needs to become part of the weekly routine. It’s within walking distance of my place.

Maybe this summer? Being pregnant ruined many goals for me. And that’s ok.

I did make a habit of this once for the one in Irvine, but it was a bit hard for me to get out there. Happily, over in the Camp across the street there is now a farmer’s market on Sundays that has opened up. Still very small so it’ll take a while to gain traction, but I did get some good honey and some peaches there today, and that makes me merry.

I walked away with huge bags filled with fruit and herbs this morning.

They’ve starting doing the Farmer’s Market twice a week at the place by my house for the summer.

My new juicer will thank me for this later.

When did I turn domestic on everyone? I don’t recall…

i get so much from my local farmer’s market that i barely see the inside of my grocery store. what a joy!
