In the coming end of the "Age of Oil" local produce will become the norm. But even closer to home permaculture gardens will occur in every vacant lot, on roofs, in front yards, along curbs, just about anywhere. And as Stacey Morris reports; the bounty will be a joy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291148052398064420.post-76418954252260406542009-07-20T09:03:32.496-07:002009-07-20T09:03:32.496-07:00Fantastic Blog.

Not only do they provide the freshest products vs. our chain stores, but they are offered by the hard working farmers themselves. I loved how you spoke of each farmer and what their products consisted of. You gave these markets a personal feel and so much more worthwhile to shp at vs. simply going to a convenience store.<br />Thank you.........this is one of the finest blogs yet and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Esp the insertion of the recipe in your text and the fact that when we frequent these markets we can look forward to a true smiling face looking right at us. Not only are the farmers appreciative of our business but we have all the more reason to be very appreciative of their hardwork and humility as well.<br />Excellent Job!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291148052398064420.post-55771528529361252652009-07-16T03:42:16.185-07:002009-07-16T03:42:16.185-07:00Great Blog!

But it's a habit I need to start immediately, b/c everytime I go, I'm simply AMAZED at the quality and selection. There is no comparison between your average farmers market, and any supermarket; take your pick. I was traveling last weekend, and we hit a service area off the highway, with the usual selection of not-so-wholesome choices; BK, Roy Rogers, Starbucks. However, outside, was a substantial farmers market stand with great choices like wasabi chick peas, blue berries, dried fruits, and my personal favorite; home made fackseed cornchips. They were AWESOME!!!!! VIVA LA FARMERS, Y VIVA LA MARKET!!!!!!!!Jay Barrnoreply@blogger.com
