SUMMER MEANS LOCAL FARMER'S MARKETS!!

July 20, 2014
I LOVE vegetables, especially fresh, local, organic produce and products. My favorite way to shop for them is at local farmer's markets. Not only do you get to meet the farmer who grows your food, there are also many booths of homemade products such as bread, pasta, and desserts to sample!! Most markets feature music, cooking demonstrations and activities for the kids. It's a terrific was to spend a few hours making new friends and providing your family with the very best produce and foods available!!
