Farmers' Market Love

I am lucky enough to have the Arlington Farmers' Market just a couple blocks from my apartment every Saturday morning.  It's open year-round, and is a producer-only market (no re-selling of other people's goods).  The vendors' farms have to be local to within 125 miles of the market.  They sell fruits and vegetables, free-range meat and eggs, cheese, mushrooms, and homemade goods like pasta, bread, pies, and jam.  Going to the farmers' market is a great way to get fresh, delicious food and to interact with neighbors and local farmers.  A wonderful Saturday morning activity!


Cabbage as big as a car!  (Just kidding, but still a very impressive cabbage!)

Here's my haul this week. I went with $25, and came back with all of this, including a little change:



There are tons of farmers markets all over the U.S.!  Find one near you using the search box below.
