Motivated by the “buy local” fever that will culminate in our Restaurant Week a couple of weeks from now, this morning (before the heat set in) I went over to our local “farmer’s market”
Not only is it an opportunity to get some fresh produce, but invariably you run into somebody you know, or chat with the sellers and it’s just a very nice experience. There are always family groups and the kids are able to develop an appreciation of where their food actually comes from. From real people, not trucks with shrink wraps. It’s all so much better than fighting the automated checkout at Giant (“Item unrecognized – please ask for assistance"). I just love the colors and shapes that are there – nature is art!
Besides the food, there are other things to tempt you
And, if you keep your eyes open, you can see some neat folks..
Bring the food home, cook it yourself, and
DFD
