Many of those who have farm goods to share meet at a local spot on Wednesday now in a place considered the local farmers market. This is great for those who can't get to the Saturday market. This week there is enough time in my schedule to go and grab any goodies we don't have here. Usually we will see items offered that we could grown ourselves, but not everyone grows everything-so! We will certainly find something we need. Actually, it is more about encouraging and supporting local growers at times. What will they do with all of that produce if we don't buy it? The answer to that question here is, it gets donated. There is a group that will be sure the excess will be shared with those who could not buy.

We have a Tuesday market as well as a Saturday one, much less crowded too.

The Wednesday market was almost empty today. The Saturday market will be mobbed-but we'll still go.

darn it! I wish I could figure out a way to have money in my wallet at all times. Our farmer's market here is both Wednesday and Saturday.

At all the farmers markets around here they want double what you can get the item in a grocery store for. it should be cheaper.

The products we buy are sometimes more, but organic. No bug spray works for me! The prices here are very reasonable.

We just visited the farmers market here in Quebec City today and I enjoyed buying for delicious local produce.

It's good if locals support farmers' markets. I'm sure the support is appreciated.
