I could almost be a locavore in the summer. My brother's vegetable stand has...
Potatoes,
squash,
tomatoes,
green beans,
lovely eggplant,
sweet corn (my favorite),
watermelon, carrots, beets,
blackberries,
blueberries and peaches... and lots more!
In addition to all of this bounty, my girls give me eggs. I can get beef, chicken and seafood locally. (I also have a freezer full of venison- can't get much more local than my back yard.)
Alas though, chocolate, coffee, and lemons would be a problem. And I'm not about to give them up. Locavore or not, please support your local farmers by buying fresh produce at local vegetable stands and farmers markets. Promote the connection of fresh local food and the local farms and farmers that supply it by voting for your favorite farmers market here-
I do, I do!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos!
Your brother's vegetable stand is gorgeous! There's nothing as delicious as fresh, local produce!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great veggie stand.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying very much all these market tours.
Ours is slowly starting to fill up and can't wait to share it to.
Great charming photos.
Have a great week and flavourful wishes,

ReplyDeleteI love farmer's markets! Even if I am traveling, I like to stop and purchase something.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard NOT to be a locavore with all of this fantastic produce around. What a bounty!
