Farmer’s market
In the spirit of trying to support the local economy, and buy freshly made goods, I decided to stop by the local farmer’s market today on my way home from running errands. Thoughts of reasonably priced fresh veggies in my head, I pulled into the gravel driveway and made my way up to the vendors area. It is a relatively new farmer’s market, and it is early in the season, so I wasn’t too surprised that there were only four tents there.
I have to say that I was disappointed in the limited selections and high prices. Spending $4.50 for a small jar of strawberry-rhubarb jam, and $3.00 for a blueberry scone was about as inexpensive as I could get out of the place! I really don’t know if I’ll try going to that one again or not, I was really disappointed at the high prices of everything that they were selling. One vendor was trying to sell loaves of wheat bread for $7.00 a loaf! Too rich for my blood!
