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.

It takes a certain amount of bravery to buy unlabeled food with no recipe and figure out what to do with it! A lot of us have forgotten how, but I’ve gotten so used to the fresh stuff we cook at home that it’s hard to go out.

Yes, without labels some of us are lost. I find interesting when I do not know all the items found in a produce department. I’ve looked at some things and wondered what they were and where they came from. 🙂

Having grown up eating vegetables, fruit and meat straight from garden and farm I have no problems dealing with unlabeled produce. I do however have to know the source and history of meat. 😉

Yes, that’s another source we must look at at. Just because we find it in the supermarket it may not be the best we could buy.
