Post a CommentThanks for the detailed info on several options!
I used to shop farmers market all the time, I dont' really anymore but would like to pick it up again, thanks for this... :o)
You are definitely spoiled for choice. Ours have been pretty lame this summer. With all the cold and rain, everything's been late. Even in my own garden, the tomatoes are just really coming into their own.
Good info on farmers markets.
I think the lettuce would be wilted by the time I got some home!
I love farmer's markets. There are quite a few around here where I live and one in particular that I like to visit. You can't beat the taste of freshly picked fruit and vegetables!
