Market Fresh

Going Green has been a topic I've blogged about in the past. I have a ton of good reads you can look through over in my blog topical cloud, labeled "Going Green". It's not just about environmental stuff, it's mostly about saving some good ole' green cash, while being green/eco-friendly.

Ahh It's spring and I just have to say, I love the local farmer's market!! It's great to get fresh produce all the while saving some cash. Mostly I've found the farmer's market to be more wallet friendly on average for produce than the grocery store. Fresh tomatoes are my favorite finds. It's a win, win for every one! Sellers offer fresh locally grown foods & flowers, consumers (like me) support local agriculture. I think there is a real taste difference in the locally grown foods. They are more flavorful. I also like the fact I can ask the grower questions. Do they grow organically or did they use pesticides etc. Some sellers even have cooking tips ~ which I like. All depends on how friendly you get with the locals, lol.

I've yet to pull off a garden of my own. Mostly because I'm so busy 'growing' up my kids. I'm sure I'll give a big hurray the day I get to do both.

If there's a Farmers Markt by you it just might be worth while to stop by! If you grow, it just might pay to sell.

Farmer's Markets! You'll find me there!
