To Market To Market

It's that time of year! The farmers around here gather a truck load of crop and head out to sell there stock.

I love going to the farmers market. It used to be a cheaper alternative to buy produce but they dont give much slack anymore. It's ok, I know my money goes to help local farmers and the veggis are fresh. 

Our daughter was home, so we got up early. I grabbed my market tote and we headed down town to the farmers Market. 

"I want some cucumbers and squash" I said on the way there.

"I want some good tomatoes" said Nick.

Then a voice from the back seat says " I want macaroons from the french bakery!" 

Me and Nick just looked at each other then realized there was a little set up that looked like a little french bakery that sold fresh pastries.

Personally, I think her intentions is the cute young boy behind the counter every season. 

 

We grabbed a few of the things we needed and headed home. 

This little piggy purchased some cucumbers and couple red and green tomatoes.

This little piggy (nick) came home with some homemade chow chow and pickles, 

and the third little piggy came home with none.

She didn't see any macaroons in the bakery this time. 

And we went "wee wee wee"  all the way home.

Once we got home,we enjoyed some fried green tomatoes with lunch. They were delicious! 

I hope to go back again next weekend and get some more fresh veggies. It was crowded and hard to really look. Also, They were actually running low on things by the time we got there.
