Farmer's Market

One of the best things about summer is going to the farmer's market. This time of year in Oregon the booths are just overflowing with fresh produce. My walk through today netted me some fresh cherry and grape tomatoes, zucchini, red potatoes and fresh bread for my dinner tonight. And there were so many other things: fresh meat (beef, pork and rabbit) different lettuce greens, carrots, strawberries, fresh herbs, garlic and flowers. The fresh basil smelled amazing!

Growing up my family always put in a huge garden. Fresh veggies and fruits taste so much better than canned. That's probably why I'm really picky about them and I don't eat them as much during the winter. Even the best produce department doesn't compare.
