Farmer's Market Fun

The hubby and I went to go check out the new Farmer's Market near our apartment. It was pretty small, but since it is a month old, I'm hoping it will grow with time. They had a DJ from a local station playing some tunes, and we were rocking out to Prince while sampling some berries.

We got some amazing fruit. White peaches, blue berries, black berries, ruby red grapefruit, avocados and strawberries. For produce, we got four different types of lettuce, some okra, and a pound of heirloom tomatoes.

Then we hit up the supermarket for some ground turkey, and also some sliced deli meats for sandwiches. If we could find an independent butcher nearby, we'd totally go.

Hubby was remarking that the fruit was pretty expensive (in some cases) compared to the supermarket prices. However, you don't get fruit picked yesterday at the supermarket, and the taste is just so much better. He agreed.

I guess if the supermarkets do go on strike again, we'll have the farmer's market to rely on.

All in all, a good day.
