Thanks for encouraging everyone to support their local farmer's market! I surely love their products, and it's always fun to meet the folks who work so hard to produce them. They are friendly and knowledgeable, and you get to know them if you go often. We can buy homemade preserves, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread...oh, how I hate to see it end!
Great article and pictures!

Loved the pictures too! We had a couple of new ones start up this year that aren't on Saturday morning. I never could remember to go to those...

Markets are SUPPOSED to be on Saturday mornings just like you said. Thanks, paul!

Grew up going to the market with my mother and grandmother as they picked what they were going to can for the winter. Oh, what glorious days those were, at least for me as a child because I didn't do the work. The aromas of all the fresh fruits and produce still linger. Thanks for a great reminder.

I love going to the Farmer's Market's and I miss them terribly out here. In Denver, a few of the local bakeries would also bring their wares, and the wonderful aromas of the freshly baked breads mingled with the fruits, veges and flowers were intoxicating...sure do miss them.

I agree - our local Farmer's Market is on THURSDAY! I usually remember about now - 5:45 p m - that I could have gone to the FM today...
