On the Subject of Farmer's Markets

After seriously watching the documentary, Food, Inc., and with ever increasing interest in locally sourced produce, I've developed a great interest in farmer's markets.

No, let me rephrase that:

I've developed an insatiable lust for farmer's markets.

From dried organically-grown fruits, to raw milk, to cage-free eggs; there are SO MANY GOOD THINGS you can procure from these gatherings.

I remember a time when my parents would whisk me away from my Saturday morning slumbers and drag me along to the SF Alemany Farmer's Market; those were days of disgruntlement and boredom, resulting in a couple of long hours baking in the sun whilst serving as a grocery-carrier.

But now that I actually enjoy shopping for things food-related, I'm bursting at the seams with unending anticipation for the Saturday Alemany Farmer's Market!

I. Can't. Wait. !.

I've still got a ton of updates to do, but just felt like getting that out. WILL REPORT MY EXPERIENCES AT THE MARKET SOON!

Until then, CHEERS.

I know the feeling! My parents used to drag me to farmers markets during my Illinois summers. I think it's hard to appreciate it when you don't have control of your own kitchen, but once you're responsible for your own diet, it makes a world of difference.
