@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!
