Buying Local
Yesterday the girls and I peddled our way to the first week of our local farmers market. Let me tell ya, it was bustling! Filled with adults, kids and dogs.
Biking to the market on Saturdays has become the norm here. It’s a nice way to start the day. Getting some exercise, fresh air and visiting with neighbors. At least that’s the what I get out of the experience. Really, my husband and kids just haul up there for the Amish doughnuts. Each week there are different visitors and demo’s. This week a local farm brought a set of twin brothers.
Here are a few other sites from our market
Here’s what we brought home this week:
I have a few favorite farmers I usually buy from every week. It is nice to know our food comes from such nice people. Here are a few links I have come across that may be of interest-thanks to wordy diva for some of these links.

That is so great Kristin. We went to a local one a little way up the coast, and found the organic produce supplier was from the shop in our own little villiage. Small world.
Love the pic of the sheep and the dog! And that gourd. You got some good looking stuff there. I’m good about buying local at the coop and being a member of a CSA but I haven’t gone to the farmer’s markets as much. The bad part is I can think of at least 4 in town that operate regularly. Now I think I need to take the kids this coming weekend! Thanks!
