Haul of the Week: Grand Opening

While I was strolling around my local farmers market Grand Opening, in my gym clothes may I add, a Photographer came up to me and happily asked me if he could use the pictures he took of me shopping for the local commercial. Umm, thanks for letting me know after the fact dude. Well lets hope when they review those tapes they decide against including the gym in her gym clothes.
Anyways, now that my local farmers market is back in town I plan to hit it up every Saturday. Buying local can help foods when possible is something I am pretty passionate about. I know it can be expensive but even just buying a few local items make a huge difference.

This week's haul:
Yellow beets, cherries, strawberries, 2 bouquets of local flowers, spinach, onions, tomatoes, humus, asparagus, cranberry beans, cilantro and a Thai Young Coconut for sipping as I picked my produce for the week.
Yay for farmers market season!

    Shopping local is the way to go. I'm trying to eat as healthy as possible these days, and all of the food you picked up looks delicious!

    Nice selection of goods! I have a FM across the street from my house and I ALWAYS flake on purchasing yummies from there. I need to be better and get on it. Let us know if you see the commercial! Flattering yet creepy.....
