I feel so grateful to live in a place where I can buy fresh, organic, local produce for most of the year. As much as I love my garden, it is not nearly large enough to feed my family. For now, it feeds my soul and lifts my spirit, and offers a sampling of good food and herbs. Someday, I would like it to grow big enough to feed us more.
this week's CSA(community share agriculture) box -Kale, lettuce, beets, strawberries, onions, sugar peas, collards and arugula - yum!
We are lucky to have artisan bread bakers as well as goat cheese makers, fresh eggs, local fish, maples syrup and honey, homemade empanadas and countless other specialties.
Hopefully soon I will be posting about getting our own city chickens! The local ordinance improvements passed, and we are eligible for a livestock permit. I am looking for coop plans and dreaming up a family building project for the summer.
~ With thanks to all the farmers who produce the foods that feed my family~

I love seeing other people's farmer markets. You'll have to let me know where yours is located so we can visit it when we're out your direction for 2 weeks this summer. I wish we had more organic produce at our farmer's market. It's getting better every year though.
wonderful pictures from your farmers market. the colors make me happy. have a wonderful day*
your post made me even more excited about our farmer's market this year :) Every year we look forward to the first Saturday of June and every other Saturday that comes after that. I also hope we can visit some farms this year to help our children learn and appreciate the fresh produce we have in our home...
