Seattle is one of the most amazing places to live.  In the summer, the sky is the brightest blue, people are at ease, and life seems to slow down a bit.  This year, I made a concerted effort to support more local businesses.  In this challenging economy, I think that we really need to support each other.  This vow led me directly to my latest obsession…the farmer’s market!

For a few months now I’ve been shopping the farmer’s markets.  For someone like me who…wait for it…HATES shopping of any kind, farmer’s markets are really fun!  I love talking to people, asking them about their businesses, their products and wares.  There are farmer’s markets all over the Seattle area, some are large, some small, but all have products for sale that you can’t buy anywhere else.  If you haven’t shopped your local farmer’s market, you should.  It’s great.  Bring cash, a large bag, your appetite, and you’re set!

To see what market is near you, go to http://www.seattlefarmersmarkets.org/

I’m off to shop the market later and I can’t wait.  The attached photo is from last week’s purchase.

Enjoy!
