Farmers Market

I cannot believe that I have lived here for two years and have not visited this local Farmers Market. I was inspired by Kelci's post on Community Supported Agriculture to try and either take part in buying from a local farm or supporting Farmers Markets. Since the only farms around are in Watsonville or San Francisco the first option would not work so off to the market we went! West Valley Community College (only about 3 or 4 miles from here) has a great market every Saturday from 9am-2pm. I took the girls and we had a great time. Since it was spur of the moment, I did not have a lot to buy since I had already shopped for the week but we got some fresh organic lettuce, cilantro, and strawberries. I was also enticed to buy bunches of my two favorite flowers - hydrangeas and dahlias. It was such a fun and friendly atmosphere and it was really not much more expensive than the grocery store. This is definitely the better option and we will revisit many Saturdays to come!
