On Saturday a friend and I went to the farmer’s market. I was looking for some specific vegetables and herbs. There was a lot to choose from, though not in variety of vegetables. There was lots of lettuce and Swiss chard. I was happy to see the strawberries were looking good. NC has great strawberry farms and I like to go to the farms and pick strawberries. I did not find a lot of what I was looking for, but that is a casualty of shopping and eating local. You can only purchase what the farms produce! I was under a time crunch and realized I cannot shop at the farmer’s market with a clock ticking. I like to compare prices, walk around a little bit and then decide which stall I’m going to buy from. I got some really nice kale, Swiss chard, bok choy, strawberries, and spinach. I did not bring enough money with me to get the tomatoes that I wanted, but next time Insha’Allah.
Eat local!
