Farmer's Market

I've been meaning to talk about this all summer. We just LOVE the Farmer's Market. It's open every Saturday from May thru October. Since this spring, we've pretty much only bought our produce from here for a few reasons. The verity is unbelievable (who knew the local seasonal produce would be so awesome), the prices can't be beat (not even by Wal-Mart), it's so fresh, and it just keeps soo much longer.
I'll be a bit sad when we have to go back to grocery store veggies--I'll be grateful--but miss the ability to talk with the farmers and know exactly where it was grown or that it was picked just last night. I love all the bakeries, dairy farms, beef/ butcher shops, little family restaurants, even local artisans, (like the Mennonite family) that have booths & tables at the market. You just feel like a part of the community. We love to wander around just see what there is, sometimes we have a breakfast picnic, or let Heidi Anne go play on the nearby playground when we're done shopping and strolling. I love market days! It's a great way to start the weekend!
