Last fall I finally went to a locally owned health food store and was pleasantly surprised by some of the prices too. =) <br /><br />My tips for farmer's markets: 1) Take at least one adorable child along, and 2) Shop during the last hour the market is open. Just before packing up, some farmers will discount or add in extra (free!) produce I've been eyeing, rather than cart home or toss what hasn't sold.Aiming4Simplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109113147823332056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747990468719074509.post-72920284390919728792011-04-26T23:00:17.440-04:002011-04-26T23:00:17.440-04:00Your store sounds like so much fun!

I have seen a great guacamole recipe lately that calls for radishes...<br /><br />Sarah, I haven't explored the farmer's market's here too much. The prices have not seemed TOO great...but I COULD bargain, esp. if I got their late, I think. I just hate bargaining. I can't even listen to my husband when he tries to do it.

Apparently it's hit or miss. :( We've been so busy on the weekends, that I haven't had the chance to go to any of the farmer's markets, so I'm hoping to go soon.Sarah @ Loved Like the Churchhttp://lovedlikethechurch.comnoreply@blogger.com
