So on the reg' we've been frequenting the Blacksburg farmer's market. It's such a great little family outing and it always boosts Ike's self esteem because people are so curious about him. "What kind is he?" "You should enter him in a contest!" "His fur is so unique." I'm not gonna lie, it gets old but after being home by himself most of the week, we figure he deserves a little pick me up so we indulge him.
Of course, everything is local which I love! That's Blacksburg's mantra after all: "Buy local. Eat local. Be local."
That's my handsome bearded man up there, pickin' apples. Our usual haul includes: bread, apples, and veggies. We have our favorite little stands but we're looking into eventually getting some meat from some of the local farms. We shall see.
I only wish I had nothing to do on Wednesdays so that I could get fresh supplies twice a week.
But that could get expensive. You know how normally you feel really terrible after leaving the grocery store because you just spent a shit-ton of money?? Well you spend a lot of money at the Farmer's Market but you just feel better about it. You know where the money is going and it ain't to Kroger. It's to local farmers who rely on this for their livelihood and are proud of their products. I'm a believer!!!
P.S. Take your own bag or you might be judged. I learned that lesson the hard way.
Hope you got some yummy fixin's for dinner tonight at your farmer's market. Enjoy this crisp early fall Saturday!!
