Default Farmer's markets
Anyone shop at farmer's markets? I think it would be fabulous to buy fresh fruits and veggies directly from the farmers, but I don't know where there is a farmer's market near me. I need to look into this more closely - surely there is one somewhere!

I love to shop at the farmer's markets! We have several here and I am not far from our local farms and we can go there for anything we need. And I still enjoy picking my own, strawberries, berries, cherries, apples, plums, peaches, tomatoes, etc. Did the "dig up the potatoes" once - won't do that again - too dirty!!

When I was a kid we used to go to a large farmer's market every couple of weeks. I remember one time someone had sugar cane and we bought a whole stalk (or whatever it is called). We cut pieces off and snacked on them. That was kind of fun - the only time I have eaten sugar cane.

When I was a kid we had gotten sugar cane as well - can't find it anymore though.

I know a guy who works at a farmer's market, but it's pretty far away from me so I've never gone there before. In fact, I've never shopped at ANY farmer's market. I have heard that they are good, though.

There is a farmer's market in the next town over from me, but I have never been there. Shame on me, I know I need to go support them and enjoy some fresh veggies.

sometimes at our farmer's market (wednesdays and saturdays), they have a guy making fresh corn meal. It takes this enormous noisy machine that they jam corn into and it pounds it into dust and, pow, corn meal.

also a great place for jams and jellies.

I have a farmer's market that is very close to me and I visit it often. The stuff is more expensive there, but I just go for convenience.

Saw this link today on the USDA website for a nationwide listing of farmers markets.
