Sunday at the Farmers' Market


Sunday mornings we like to ride our bike to the farmers' market. We buy eggs (cage-free), oranges and fresh veggies. This morning I bought a piece of baklava for $2 which was dripping with honey. Mostly, though, I like it that when I hand over three bucks for oranges it goes right into the farmer's pocket. No distant corporation siphoning off a slice of the profit and taking that money out of the community. What if farmers' markets grew to the point that they put the mega-supermarkets out of business?

  2. We are reading your blog sitting in Starbucks waiting for Sundance to finish
    getting groomed by a local dog shop, "Dogma". Does it balance out between
    multiple national and a local. Hope you had a geat Sunday! Sierra had two bball games, bought a battery for the parked Lexus, a computer desk and a Blu Ray player.

  3. That should be multi-national... The iPhone filled it in without my permission.
