One by one, our Farmer's Markets have opened. Last Thursday, the natural and organic one opened. I don't normally get to go to that one, but we didn't have enough work, so they let us out early.
I bought artizen bread-sweet potato bread, very moist. Carrot ginger orange marmelaide, mozorella cheese, smoked mozorella cheese, Italian herb and garlic cheese spread, 4 dozen free range eggs, grass fed beef (sorry my friends from India and vegans/vegetarians), honey crisp apples, and asparagus.
So is/are your Farmer's Markets open? A few years ago, we had one, now we have at least 5. Do you buy anything? Does yours include crafts? (Some of ours do, some don't) What do you buy, or do you just look? What kinds of things can people buy?

There are smaller farmer's markets down here (I live in a southern state) year round. Each one sells a variety of stuff but the one I love is about an hour away and sells every fresh fruit and vegetable you can imagine, and some you can't. The first time we went to it, we got 4 bags of vegetables and fruits and it was $8.00 and something. We about had a fit we were so excited about the low prices!
We are planning a trip to that area this weekend and I'm already making a list of what I want to buy at the market. I think they had some Amish homemade noodles and cakes there, which is not something we typically have the opportunity to buy. I might try one of those. We will also spend alot of time looking.

Aren't Farmer's Markets fun? Ours tend to not be less expensive than stores very often, but sometimes they have something on sale. Our laws and taxes, even for farmets don't make anything cheap.

We only have one in Edinburgh 
but it is open every week.
Unfortunately it is the other side of the city to me and I just never get there.
I'm going to try and get there as I'm so fed up of supermarket food, which never lasts and is low quality probably because it's been sitting in a warehouse for months.

I will do that if I ever get to it. I've swopped to a local greengrocer as much as possible as the fruit and veg lasts longer. I still get fruit and veg from supermarkets as they are opened longer hours.
