Farmers Market ~

You all know that we live in the middle of nowhere... right?!?

We have 2 options for local grocery shopping.  One of them is Wally World.  You can imagine how picked over and unappetizing the produce can be, right??

I was beyond thrilled to hear that some of the folks in our town were planning on a makeshift farmers market in one of the local parks.  Well, it grew in momentum and was held at our city building. 

Last week, not so great.  Seems this is the height of yard sale season.  WHAT?!?  :-)

But, with loads of us whining about the lack of produce, people stepped up this weekend. 

Look at my haul!






Look at all this home grown goodness!  And Wally world can't compare to the prices!


Cherry tomatoes, green & yellow squash, Swiss chard, corn, big juicy tomatoes and...  my favorite:


Gorgeous, freshly laid eggs.  Sooooooooooo pretty!!



I've never tried Swiss chard.  Not sure what it tastes like, but I'm gonna give it a try!

I'm pretty much obsessed with my eggs.  Almost too pretty to use.  Almost. 




Oh.  So pretty. 

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

XOXO
