Our local farmer’s market had it’s opening day yesterday. They also had a record turnout! We very much enjoy growing our own food but we also make it a point to buy locally when we do purchase items. To help with our local buying efforts we join a CSA every summer and enjoy shopping at our local farmer’s market for meat, eggs, cheese etc….

Yesterday I picked up some wonderful cheese, including a huge chunk of raw milk feta, along with some fresh strawberries and delicious portobello mushrooms which I grilled last night for dinner. There was music, fresh squeezed lemon aid and most importantly lovely friends to catch up with.
