I have been doing a lot more shopping at the local farmers market this summer. There is a farm offering a five pound bag that you can fill for $10 or half full for $5. I like to go for the half full bag. It’s surprising how much I can get. One morning the guy leaned forward, smiled and told me to grab a cantaloupe. I find it interesting how disgusting (dirty) the food seems to young kids who have only known food from a supermarket. I think this guy has what he wants.
Wisdom comes in many forms, do not be fooled into thinking it comes from one place, when it’s everywhere.
I enjoy wandering through a farmers market. There will always be the jars of honey, the fresh vegetables, buffalo brats from a local rancher, the musicians and of course the craft makers. The woman making these ropes and I had a good laugh when she me how many hundreds of images she had just like the one I was taking.
Spent some time wandering through the Drake Farmers Market yesterday morning. Took a few images and sampled almost everything they had, that way I did not have to eat lunch, but dinner, well that was different story. 🙂
I enjoy these community events. You can actually talk to the person who made the product which could include growing the vegetables in their own garden, harvesting them, caning them and using their own special recipe. And, as I mentioned above, you can sample the product before buying. I found a couple of things I just had to buy and made my dinner with them last night.
