Not much to report from the market today. Didn’t really get much of a game plan for the next week so I stocked up on some staples and few items that are workable. Been using a lot more kale so I decided to buy 2 bunches instead of 1 for the week. We’ll see how…

Farmers Market 1/31/13
While I continue to get caught up on things here is the farmers market haul from last week. I went light on veggies simply because I didn’t get a chance to plan meals for the week. Which is sometimes good because it forces me to get a bit creative use up everything. I found some…
Farmers Market 1/3/13 & 1/10/13
The start of the new year is now past. Everyone is seemingly falling back into the routine of life, myself included. December was nuts. I didn’t make it to a single farmers market in the month of December. Part of me enjoyed the break from having to be at a set place at a set…
Farmers Market 11/15/12
While there is technically several more market days before thanksgiving, this is my final market before thanksgiving. Not that it matters that much given that I am not preparing the Thanksgiving meal and am instead brining a casserole that is full of stuff you don’t get at the farmers market. I was kind of amazed…
Farmers Market 11/1/12
Back at the market this week. I didn’t go last week because I felt like I had just enough produce to get through another week. It was a creative stretch but I think we fared okay. I’m not sure if the expense evens out over the weeks or not but I definitely spent more than…
Farmers Market 10/4/12
No more raspberries at the market this week. Kind of wish I would have bought two flats last week rather than one. But I did get a great price on strawberries! Six bucks for half flat of organic/incredibly still sweet strawberries! Half of the flat has already been cleaned and chopped into small pieces and…
Farmers Market 9/20/12
It was a nice surprise to find organic raspberries for $1 a basket! Hence, the flat! I don’t have an immediate use for them so most are going to be frozen to use for baking down the road. Om nom nom. Valencia oranges Yellow peaches Nectarines Raspberries! Nothing terribly exciting in the veggie department. Didn’t…
Farmers Market 9/13/12
Back to our regularly scheduled program today! After any time away, even if it is just two weeks, it is really fascinating to see how the season is moving along. Grapes are every where in the market now. Cherry tomatoes are gone, but the price of heirlooms are starting to come down. The big fruit…
Farmers Market 8/16/12
California is most certainly having an amazing fruit this summer. The cantaloup I picked up last week was like liquid sugar. And the peaches are out of the world right now. Hence why I picked up quite a few more… though half of those are going in a tart. Yellow peaches Red plums And in…
Farmers Market 8/2/12
It felt good to get back to the market today. After one too many runs to Safeway around and between travel days, I am reminded once again why I love and appreciate everything I buy at the farmers market. Big box grocers simply cannot compare to what farmers markets offer. I went for a little…
Farmers Market 6/14/12
Oh summer fruits, I can no longer say no to you. What can I say, the fruit keeps getting better and better. Which also means I’m spending a bit more $$ to have these fruits but I’ve come to the conclusion that it is worth it since I will be gone for the month of…
Farmers Market 6/7/12
Holy expanding market Batman!!! They added a third row to accomodate all the vendors! With the addition of all the summer fruits now in season, the market has a wonderful mix of veggies, fruits, and handmade goods. I am quite smitten with this weeks haul. The cherries are amazing! The peaches? I found for $1/lb!…
