Farmers Markets

One of my favorite places to shop is the local Farmers Market. We are fortunate to have one of the largest ones in our state right down the street. This is a great way to shop for fresh, organic produce and meats while supporting the local economy. Sometimes you can find better deals at a Farmers Market than Costco or the grocery.

For example, I buy maple syrup at the Farmers Market and it costs 1/4th of what I would pay at Kroger. Their price is comparable to what I would pay at Costco and I'm supporting a local farmer. Also, a Farmers Market is a great way to get out of the house on a Saturday morning and see some friends, have some coffee or just enjoy a leisurely Saturday morning (unless you have 3 kids in tow!)

So, get out there and get some fresh produce. Can't find a Farmers Market near you? Check out this site.
