Farmers Market

My husband and I enjoy spending time going to the farmers market on weekends. We have fun trying local items, meeting our community's farmers, and buying the freshest produce possible. It also gets me to try different items, which inspires me to come up with new meals. Here are some pictures from our last trip and some of the benefits of buying local.

ACC Bakery: The bread smelled and tasted delicious!

Since the produce takes less time to get to you, it is fresher and more nutritious. This all translates into it tasting better! Just look at the vibrant colors!

Farmers markets are not necessarily more expensive. When produce is in season and there is a large supply, the price is the same or cheaper than a supermarket.

Shopping at the farmers market also helps support your local economy and the majority of your money actually goes to the farmer. Since all the food is from near by, it is also better for the environment :)

Yummy goat cheese from Prodigal Farm. My favorite was the chipotle-garlic!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Walker Farms winter squash! They also have delicious cage-free fresh eggs!

My favorite part of the farmers market: Enjoying the best tasting fresh squeezed lemonade, while walking around on a sunny day!
