the season has been really slow in starting this year, but i think its going to be a good one.
here is my bounty from todays market
i purchased 2 really large heads of leaf lettuce, a large bunch of swiss chard, a large bunch of spinach, 4 medium heads of brocolli, 2 large bunches of radishes, 2 pints of strawberries, and 2 containers of goat cheese spread--all organic.
eating healthy does not come cheap. these purchases cost me $43. however salad greens are the basis for all of my lunches and dinners and these will last me all week.
i'm looking forward to visiting the market each saturday morning & i'm considering joining a CSA next summer.
Great Karen. We didn't plant a garden either this year. Will be gone too much at the wrong times to really make it worthwhile. We have a new group...local growers...and they are making some headway down here. Hopefully we will see more locally grown stuff in the next year or two, once the growers are established. We do have a local family who sell milk, chickens, and cheese. And they do a wonderful business....very popular. Lots of people have gone into chicken raising too....funny stories to go with them. And bee keeping. Glad to see this becoming popular.
