Yes, but the produce is very expensive, think Whole Foods on steroids.  I look for the organic products, but purchase very little.

Yes, we have one year round in Santa Barbara. We go every week without fail. Went this morning. we know all of the vendors and enjoy running into friends and chatting with the vendors about their products. Most are organic and non gmo.

Not in our town, but the next town over and we have several in our county. Also we live near Mennonite markets (as in little outdoor stands and 2 indoor mini stores). I too love to go to the markets and the local stands/stores.

Not the most glamorous looking, but we are close by several farmers' markets.

 

My DM went there every single Saturday, and we all made fun of it and hated to go there! For me, it was because of the way it looked! Here I am years later. We always get all our meats from there.

There is one in our town, but it is so crowded you have to wait for a parking space. The past few years we drive 25 minutes out of town to a smaller one that is worth the trip.

Re: Do you have a Farmer's Market in your town?

Yes many.   The food is incredible, it for sure comes directly from the farm.   I love tomatoes so much I can almost tell the difference in taste of the various varieties.   There's a "mountain" nearby that produces the most wonderful tomatoes.  I wait all year for them.  I live in the foothills of the Appalachians.  This market below is in town, takes up an entire city block.   In winter it's mostly meat products, eggs, bread products, etc, summer is fresh fruits & veggies.   This picture is just a small representation

Yes! Nothing like fresh veggies straight from the farms and we love to support our local farmers!Heart
