TSA#45 – Visit Your Local Farmers Market

Sep 26, 2012 by Ben

If you’ve been to your local farmers market you know how awesome they are and can skip this post. Just please go invite some friends to go with you next time you go.

If you haven’t been to your local farmers market lately you are missing out. They are amazing and you can support real local small business owners while getting some awesome food or hand made items. We are fortunate enough to have several farmers markets around us during the week and on weekends. We have several that we hit up for fresh fruit and veggies or just an awesome crepe or Belgian waffle on the weekend. We also have a late night sunset market on Thursdays that is mostly food and stuff to buy vs fruit and veg but the food is so good it doesn’t matter. My wife and I walk our dog through the market each Thursday and eat some awesome food while socializing with the locals and their dogs. The blue crab burrito is to die for.

The point is farmers markets are awesome. We complain about jobs getting sent overseas but we rarely actually take action to support small local businesses. They don’t get any more small or local than your famers market.

Find some farmers markets near you and go. You will find some awesome deals on fresh food or just some amazing hand made items and you will want to go back. I promise.

I can’t wait for that blue crab burrito tomorrow.
