I am in Rochester, Mn where I used to go to the Farmers Market on Saturday's and loved both the produce and the social time. Since the virus they have started doing delivery and/or you can pickup your order. Although I greatly miss the social time, I have used both the delivery and pick up and both have been great.
The humidity and temps have now increased so an early morning hour walk has worked the best! I have stopped tracking my miles just to appreciate nature and a few hellos here and there.
Happy 4th of July everyone! Stay safe and well!

@jude07 and @johnbishop, Ah, your Farmers Mkt posts reminded me of the outstanding mkt held in Evanston, IL each summer. Held in the center of town and covering many blocks on Saturdays, it was Absolutely amazing to experience the huge variety of fresh veggies, fruits, jams, pickled and homemade confections and selections. People drove from miles around and we walked a wagon over to load up with incredibly delicious foodstuffs and plants!
Locally, we have a section downtown roped off on summer Saturday's for locally grown produce. Streets are closed and because the pkg is so far away, I've never gone. However, we also have a locally owned spring-fall veggie/fruit mkt which I have loved to shop through the years. Most is grown locally but some fruits are brought in from other states...Georgia peaches for one...yummie!

@jude07, I love going to the Farmer's Market in Rochester. It used to be one of my Saturday treats going with my daughter. One of my favorite vendors was Omar's Kitchen Catering and their fresh baked goods - love their cranberry wild rice bread and rolls. It is a great place to get fresh fruit and vegetables.
