Farmer’s Market

We have started to venture to the local farmer’s market recently and I have to say – I love it! The experience itself is entertaining, lots of people selling veggies and fruits, herbs and plants and various other things. We have found that most of the prices are very comparable to the grocery stores around here and the freshness and tastes are so much better with the food that we buy from the farmer’s market. The best part of it – you can normally try just about anything before you buy it and its all good for you. Our kiddo had never tried mangos before and with a little coaxing, he did, and its now his favorite fruit, he can devour a mango very quickly and then searches for more. We have bought mushrooms and onions, brocolli and cauliflower, red potatoes, pineapples, plums, all sorts of berries, apples, oranges, romaine lettuce and spinach, and probably several more things that I can not remember and they all tasted better then what we have bought in the stores and were just prettier. We are going to try and go at least once a month, not everything will last that long, but its great to support the local community and find new fruits/veggies for us to try.
