Our
Downtown Farmer's Market is a great place to look for veggies, fruit, breads, meats, cheese, and artisan wares. I like how I can choose things that are non/minimally processed, local, sometimes organic, and I get to talk to the growers
face. to. face.

Located next to the river and under trees it is a great location to meet up with family and friends.

On our last visit we picked up a little of every thing including a special soap that we heard would help our son's eczema. The woman I spoke with mentioned that this one particular kind of oatmeal soap from this booth was the only thing to help her grandson and she was buying more. And since I had tried all kinds of expensive soaps, lotions, and medicines recommended by the doctor that really did not work I thought why not? (See the dog statue in the background? They make special soaps for furry friends, too).
Speaking of furry friends, there was a booth for an animal rescue organization which was celebrating its birthday. I kept wondering who MARC or TOBY or what ever the guy's name was until my hubby pointed out that it was the acronym of the agency.

The fruits and vegetables are always so pretty even if I have no idea what they are or how to use them.

With the Texas starting to beat us down I wonder how long I will get to see these great looking things. Hopefully the rain will keep on coming... And since we decided to work on our front yard this weekend I am questioning our intelligence (do you know how HOT it is by 9:30 in Central Texas?)
QUESTION: Do you shop at your local farmer's market? And what did you do this weekend?
