Farmer's Market Guide

I love to wander the farmer's market this time of year picking from the freshest vegetables available and buying big armfuls of zinnias.

I wonder if you know about Local Harvest? It is an online resource for finding farmer's markets in your area. Once you enter your zip code, you can see when/where farmer's markets are hosted near you.

It is a great resource for local info and also really fun to use if you are going on a "cottage" vacation where you will be cooking. What would taste better with a glass of wine, than cheese drizzled with local honey?

Plus, more and more farmer's markets are allowing craftspeople to sell their jewelry, art and even food items (jams, granola) in tents as well. I think the variety makes the market even more interesting.

Tomorrow I'll show you this year's "favorite find" at the farmer's market.

Decide today that you are going to get up early on Saturday and head to the Farmers Market. You could come home with veggies for a pot of homemade soup, local honey, maybe even a big bunch of sunflowers. Take advantage of the bounty that the farmers have to offer. Want to find one near you?

Farmers Market

I love to shop farmer's markets for fresh fruits & vegetables, local honey, and of course, to take pictures. This photo was taken in Manhattan at the Union Square Greenmarket.

What was the neatest thing I bought this day? A beeswax Christmas tree ornament in the shape of an angel.
