WEEKEND FUN OPTION #2:
Plan a Trip to Your Local Farmers’ Market
Over the last few weeks, I have reviewed a few of our area’s farmers’ markets that specialize in selling locally grown produce. These markets sell a variety of other treats, too…you can score fresh bread, goat milk cheese, fresh roasted coffee beans, hot tamales and homemade soap…all locally made. Pick one to attend Saturday morning and fill your frig with fresh produce goodness.
