It's that time of year again. Our local farmers market is rolling
along and new produce and products come in weekly as the weather
brings more harvest. I thought you guys would enjoy seeing
the farmers, crafters, food processers and service people that are a
part of our local farmers market.

If you have a market in your area, shop there. That's where you will
get clean, healthy, sustainable food and products.

I'm so very glad that more and more cities and communities are
creating thriving farmers markets.
They become the center of community activity as well as a hub of good
nutrition and taste!!

There's not much local produce here, yet. Radishes, maybe.
We're still getting frost/freeze warnings every few days.

I'd be more inclined to go to our farmer's market if it had better
parking. It's downtown, and you're on your own for parking.
I'm sure they get plenty of business from people who either
walk from their downtown residences or jobs, or who don't
mind cruising around for parking. The place is always packed.
(Mind you, I'm aware that Ann Arbor, Michigan, does not have
a world-class parking problem. But the market is in one of
the older sections of town, and there's not much parking
nearby.)

The bus does not go to my house outside of town.
When I'm at my office, which has a bus stop across the
street, I have my car with me. Why should I take
the bus?

(When I was without a car for a few years
in the late 1970s, I took the bus to work. I had a
car available for grocery shopping and laundromat
runs.)

You said there was no parking available.

She also said the bus doesn't run from her office to her home, so she has to
drive to work. How is she supposed to get these treasures from the farmer's
market home?

Do farmers markets tend to be more expensive to buy from?

I don't know about other farmer's markets. Ours seems to be no more
expensive that organic or sustainable foods
you find in grocery stores. The main difference is fresh, wholesome
and local.

If it's a few cents a pound more, I think it's worth it for the
quality and freshness.

Not all vendors at farmer's markets offer organic produce.

I guess that's true in some places. I just like the market here. And
I like supporting local small farms.

In my loacality, farmers market prices will be roughly the
same as store prices only for things that are locally in season
(and often only at the peak of season). So for example, at
the peak of tomato season, local organic Early Girl's are
no more expensive at the market than at the store.

Otherwise, the markets are more expensive, with a few random
exceptions.

The farmers market in our town is once a week during the warm weather
months, but it only runs from 4:30 pm to 8 pm. Lucky for them, Thursday
night is free concert night in the band shell, so there is always a big
crowd.

I find their prices way to high. I do must of my fruit and vegetable
shopping at stands. I can take a nice one mile walk through the woods to
get to it. I take the dogs and they get a nice run. Kill two birds with
one stone.
