Since we have gotten back from our vacation we have had no food in our house at all.
So last weekend we got up early saturday morning and walked over to the farmer's market.
This past year or so we have been working to buy more local and fresh produce.
Buying at the farmer's market is a great way to do that.
We love being able to buy straight from the source and buying from neighboors.
The Eugene Farmers market is huge, they have one block with arts and crafts and a whole other section just for food.
There are stands with produce, meats, cheeses bread and even starter plants for your own garden.
Getting up and going saturday morning has become one of my favorite activities that we do.
Let us know in the comments if you love going to the farmers market and what your local one is like.
Here our a few snaps from our trip this past weekend.
Heres a photo of some of the goodies we picked up.

What's your favorite item to get at the farmers market?
Great post! I also enjoy the Eugene farmer market and agree that it's a perfect way to support local urban and rural farmers, support local families and the local community, and encourage sustainability through harvest! My favorite selections recently have been seasonal berries for summer...yum! And nothing compares to fresh, seasonal veggies!
ReplyDeleteI plan on going tomorrow to get some berries for a fruit tart. They always look so good.
