I’m a total sucker for Farmer’s Markets. I buy bread I can’t possibly finish, preserves that will be in my frig for months, eggs that come in brown, blue and green, but it’s all good. Typically these products are grown locally. They are produced by smaller farms that often use more ecologically sound growing methods and offer better nutrition since those eggs had only to travel from the next county rather than across the country. So why do I go when I never manage to use up everything I buy and eat out way too much? For one I live with a cook so he gets to be creative with my market finds, but honestly I’m just a sentimental sap some days. The kids running around, the old guy with the sparkly eyes working you for $2 asparagus and my hope that all that goodness will later infuse the egg sandwich I make on that good bread.
