You’re so right about getting stuck in the rut of going between Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods: it’s convenient, it’s easy. But nothing beats going to a farmer’s market. Foremost for me is the visual appeal—the explosion of colors. I get a little heady!! And you’ve just convinced me to get out of my rut!!☀️
Yes! And I hear tel there is a great farmers' market at your disposal in Lexington! How was your birthday party??? (Send me a private DM on that please! and any pics!)
Thanks for the reminder of how wonderful farmers markets can be! I’m lucky that there are so many here in Southern California, including a small but excellent one in the town where I live. I visit whenever I can and always want to buy everything I see, especially now as fresh fruit arrives in such colorful abundance. The FM you write about in Miami sounds terrific.
Thanks Ruth! The seasonality of things is so intriguing. The markets are wrapping up here in Miami because the summer season is too hot! And yours is just beginning, evidentally. As the seasons change, so do we, as someone once sang!
It's really special Gayle. Go when you have a chance. Sadly, because winter is the growing season in Florida, I think next week may be the last week until the fall.
