Winter farmer's market

[Nutso]

A few towns over they opened a Winter's market a few weeks back. It is only open for a few hours on Saturdays and the place is packed and parking is almost impossible. I finally got in today and was overwhelmed by the amount of items to choose from. You could buy any meat from goat to pork to lamb to Highland beef to chicken. Almost every booth had fresh eggs. Lots of vendors with winter veggies (spinach, celery roots, parsnips, etc). Never mind the bakery items....OMG. It was so much fun!!! I didn't buy a ton of stuff, but did get a bunch of parsnips, some fresh yogurt and some goat cheese....but I wanted a lot more.

I guess this is going to become part of my Saturday morning routine.

I love going to farmers markets! Glad you found a good one near you ;D

That's a great thing to have around. I have an Amish market near me but they just gouge the hell out of the yuppies. I'd swear they buy produce at Shop-Rite across the street, take the stickers off, stick an "organic" sign in front of it and double the price.

Sounds like you hit the jack pot there. I have never heard of a "Farmer's Market" set up during the winter months.

Hey why don't you girls get me some info on these pertaining to vendors. Maybe I'll take a road trip and make a few bucks while I'm there.
