Farmer's market

We went to the green market last Sunday and brought home some yummy apples, fresh, cage-free brown eggs, some stem flowers, a small Jade plant and the first outside shots taken with my first D-SLR camera.  Have you heard of farm shares?  It's basically a community supported agriculture.  By becoming a member of a farm share, you receive a portion of the farm's season harvest for a fixed price.  It comes in a box delivered to you weekly and it contains seasonal, organic, and fresh items from the farm you pick.  I have been researching this idea, but it turns out that right now we cannot afford to participate in one, so we make weekly trips to Dupont market for a taste of organic and fresh produce.  I'd love to hear more about it, if you or someone you know participates in a farm share.

  2. Farm shares? That sounds so good. I'd love to take part in a project like that. Im totally going to read more about it and your photos of the market look beautiful. I love eating organic and the whole part of getting your own food from a great place makes the experience that much more fun. Have a great one. xo
