Buy Fresh, Buy Local Farmer's Market in the shadow of the Michigan State Capitol
J and I got up earlier than we normally do to once again head to the State Capitol for the Buy Fresh, Buy Local Farmer’s Market. We went to the event in July and came home with a lot of fresh produce. We headed downtown today not needing much, but we had such a good time at the last one, we didn’t want to miss this one.
There weren’t quite as many vendors this time, but the ones that were there had a lot more produce. I noticed in Ann Arbor over the weekend that a lot of farmers were starting to peddle their peppers. That trend continued today. There were a lot of peppers including the hard to find purple peppers. I looked at some habenero’s, but passed because I didn’t have a recipe in mind.
We looked at apples, but didn’t buy. J likes to take one to her with work every day so she has something to snack on other than candy, but since we’re planning on being away for the weekend, we passed. They were a little pricey and we didn’t want to waste them. Had this been a Monday, I’m positive we would have bought some.
She did end up buying more blueberries and raspberries. I finished up the last two pints making a mixed berry pie, so we needed some more for salads. I think she ended up paying around $8 for the two pints. The raspberries were $5 and the blueberries $3. Read the rest of this entry »
