This last Saturday, we all ventured out to the St. Paul Farmers' Market and we loved it! Farmers' Market's are one of those things that I have always loved in theory but haven't really made much time to go to before now. The girls and I went to the Bloomington farmers' market last summer once or twice but not any more than that. After Saturday, I am 'in love' with them. My goal is to go to one just about every weekend until the end of fall. I loved all the fresh produce and flowers, it really was beautiful. It was a very cold and rainy day so I did leave my camera at home, so I have no pictures of all our 'finds'.
My favorite purchase of the day was 3 enormous zucchini and squash that we bought for a total of $1.00. I kid you not, the zucchini was the size of my entire arm and the 2 yellow squash were about the size of my forearm! They were huge, delicious, you can't beat the price and they were all organic. The cost alone is enough to encourage me to go back to the farmers' market every week, not to mention that I can support local farmer's as well. Our other treasures that we found were raspberries, blueberries, colorful beans, cucumbers, and snap peas. This coming Saturday, we are off to the Bloomington farmers' market, I am going to try and beat my find of last weekend!
