Freshness...it must be Summer Time!!

Ahhhhh!! Is all I kept saying as I walked through the Murfreesboro Farmers Market(FM) . The sights and smells put my into my happy, summer sun, place. This was the 2nd time I have been here, so I would not say I am an expert, but I am all about some yummy veggies and fruits, as well as supporting our local farmers. I love to get more for my money as well as use my money to help families that live in my community.

So this past week, and for the next week, my cousins from Florida are spending time with us (another post to come about how I am LOVING my time with them). This morning we got up and and headed off to find some deals at the FM.

The method to my madness is...
When I get there, I like to walk around and see what my options are. I talk to a few of the farmers as well as customers. Today, (at the bank while i was getting my cash) a girl was eating a peach. I asked her how it was and where she got it. She said it was the best peach she has ever had. 

Needless to say I found out which tent it was at bought about 10 lbs of the juiciest peaches I have ever tasted. 

This picture is of me...of course, and if you know me you know I LOVE a good story so here it goes...Ashley is holding the basket of peaches and drops them in the middle of the ROAD! So this picture is of me frantically dodging cars to catch my rolling peaches. GREAT time!! 

 

So a highlight of my day was one of the tents we went to. It was called Justlove. This hits close to home because just last year my sister called me and told me about this. Part of the proceeds go toward helping families raise funds for their adoption. I've posted a picture of my sweet nephew Kenian. Lord, we are so thankful for him coming into our family! 

Support this cause if you get a chance!  

SO these are my goods...fresh corn on the cob, tomatoes, sweet and green peppers, zucchini, peaches and blue berrys. At the FM this cost me 39 bucks.

Estimated at Kroger, it would have been about 50 bucks.
If you are here...try out the FM on the square, Saturday mornings. If you aren't, look up to see where you can try one out! GO here and type in your zip code! It's a least worth a try!
