I’m really enjoying our farmer’s market. After years of disuse, the site has been turned into something hoppin’. Best of all, the vendors only have to pay the city $5 for the use of a booth! How cool is that?
We go every weekend, because there is live music and some really good stuff to eat. Right now, since it just started up about six weeks ago, there aren’t many vegetables, although I always manage to get some squash and a few other things. Once I even got asparagus.
Sage was delighted to see his day camp counselor selling homemade bread and jam. It’s really, really good, especially to Sage! It’s like she’s now a magician or something…
I always get a bouquet from a lady who grows the most amazing variety of flowers. Every week, the bouquet is totally different. If you return the Mason jar, you get 50 cents off the five dollar price.
It’s things like this that make life so sweet.

I think I may be first–YAY!! We have a great Farmer’s Market in town, but it’s very crowded, so I go rarely. I have that orange lily growing right now in my yard. I love the color! Homemade jam rocks.

Going to the farmer’s market sounds really neat. Especially because as you go every weekend you get to know the vendors and they come to expect you stopping by and perhaps the flower lady will begin making a special bouquet and set it aside for you
I clicked over to comment as soon as it appeared in my RSS Reader, but it’s like 3 1/2 hours after the post went live :S Guess I’ll have to settle for 1,001!

Yeah, I sometimes think about buying a farmer myself sometimes.

Farmers markets are awesome. I don’t necessarily buy stuff every time I go there, but I really like the sense of community.
We did a Christmas puppet show at the farmers market too. It was fun.

That reminds me, we have our local farmer’s market this evening (one night a week). I would love some ripe summer tomatoes. No salmonella hysteria here! That jam looks delish!
