The Farmers Market
This morning, I went to a farmers market for the first time ever. What a fabulous experience! My son, who was never liked any fruit beyond apples and grapes, now loves peaches and nectarines and is willing to try more “exotic” fruits. He HATED honey and was willing to try the dark honey pictured. He loves it! WOW! Such a big shift in sentiment and I’m proud of him for opening his mind and his palette.
As for me, I was amazed at the size, quality, price, and variety of selection. The peppers were HUGE! I always thought farmers markets to be inconvient (only available at a certain time, day, and place) but now I can totally work it into my schedule. It’s worth it! I got the best value on food I have gotten in a long time. I like that the only handlers of my food is the farmer then me. And market shopping is so much more fun than grocery shopping. I am now a regular!
