Chrissi B! it's Saturday ...enjoy a farmers market


Tis' Saturday! Yeah! For many of us that means stocking our pantry and kitchen with food! I love to Saturday shop and hit my favorite stores in search of fresh finds or new choices.

Many of us around the country are lucky enough to be near a farmers market. You cannot beat a great farmers market for their offerings of fruits and veggies. I also enjoy the odd selection of foods, hand mades and flowers. You simply cannot leave, without a few blooms tucked under your arm!

Perhaps your are new to an area or have not found a good farmers market, consider a few friendly links. I have found The Farmers Market.com a good find.

Simply, search, or "google" farmers markets, and you will find an offering for states and counties that pertain just to your area. This is a great resource, as the information is usually state specific and useful regarding postings, guidelines, and local regulations. If there is an issue with a local crop in your area, for example, you will find information about such a problem, on this type of site.

Many of us are really trying to eat fresh and healthy this summer. Many of us just are not happy with the choices of produce found in our local grocery stores, a farmers market may offer help.

Grab some sunflowers too ...and enjoy!
