Going to the Farmers Market is one of my favorite things to do with my girls and husband. When ever we go, we would buy veggies, and ready to eat food to enjoy on a nice picnic in the park. The park is beautiful. It has a fountain in the center, a very fragrant rose garden on another section and tall trees that gives a nice breeze of air. Love watching my girls climb on a low tree and play ball with their daddy. I haven’t met a kid that doesn’t enjoy climbing on trees.
When you go to your local Farmers Market, what do you enjoy most about your trip? What is your favorite item to buy? I love the local honey, eggs from a local chicken farm and the very good quality vanilla I purchase there from a family business.
Once we got home with the many vegetables we bought at the Farmers Market I went on and started prepping our dinner menu. Salmon Salad with green apples, asparagus, walnuts a drizzle of lemon and olive oil. Simple, fresh and very satisfying.
