I like shopping for produce at the Farmer's Market because it is fresh from the farm. Some veggies still even have dirt on them. There is a huge variety and a sense of helping the local farmer.
I started the day off with some fuel- PB on toast and some coffee to go!
Summer tunes are essential to the drive.
I got to the market around 8am. Still a little drowsy.
The market wasn't too busy at this time. It was nice and easy to maneuver.
I was done all my shopping by...
The loot includes:
-a dozen free range, vegetarian diet eggs
-3 Zucchini/summer squash/courgettes (call them what you will!)
-a bunch of Asparagus
-a bunch of Kale
I can't wait until there are plenty of string beans, tomatoes, beets, cucumbers, melons, etc. August is a great month for the farms and gardens.
What is your favorite summer fruit/veggie?
I am a cucumber, and tomato whore.....I eat them in a salad everyday for lunch.....
ReplyDeleteI would like to try kale "chips" though, I am hearing amazing things about them
@Bonnie - Kale chips are the only reason I bought it for! haha.
ReplyDeleteI want to know how those kale chips turn out, be sure and post about the taste. I have thought about it and thought about it but haven't tried them yet. Fav: watermelon and yellow squash

ReplyDeleteLove the photos of your trip to the market. You had me drooling over those colorful veggies. I don't know why I don't think to go to the farmers market near me. That's something I need to start doing, you have inspired me. I'm curious about the kale chips too, heard a lot about them, but have never tried them. Please report back.
