[...] I guess I was expecting to see rustic wooden baskets overflowing with bright green lettuce, and juicy strawberries, and ripe zucchini. I was expecting something that looked like the pictures here or here or here. [...]

I received 1 st mortgage loans when I was a teenager and it aided my family very much. However, I require the bank loan once more time.

Ha ha … I just wrote a post about how much I HATE shopping! http://bit.ly/a1C3hY

I do love farmer’s markets, though. It’s nice to congregate in a place where I won’t be mocked for worrying about MSG and the toxic effects of microwaves

I love my local farmers market:) This year they’ve even decided to open Tuesday evening hours in addition to their Saturday morning hours…perfect for families on the go like mine!

And don’t forget to plan ahead for the long winter days without our market friends…learn how to preserve your foods in ways that make sense for you…you can dry, freeze, can or pickle most of your favorites to enjoy the year through. I use a reference book called “So Easy to Preserve” for all my preservation needs…it’s a great resource.

Great article, thanks! I’m with you on the cash thing, too…makes for better budgeting:)

Katie…Right now it is available as 1/4, 1/2, or whole. Mine will be ready today or first of next week. Eventually they would like to sell by the #, but that would mean getting a huge propane(?) freezer, as they live off grid. Mine is a fairly small 1/4, finished weight around 120#. Typically it would be around 150#. Not too bad, if you wanted to split 1/4 with a friend. The other good thing is Matt has you get 1/8 of a front and 1/8 of a rear quarter…that way you get a bigger variety of meat. He gets it cut at Jones Meats in Saranac, and he also has them hang it for 14 days to dry out, THEN he has it weighed. Good for the customer.
Yes, they do sell maple syrup they got off their own land, so it is likely you got some from them. She also is a WAPF leader along with her daughter Abbie, and has monthly classes at their farm.
You can contact them at 566-8481….they can give you all the details. I’m just passing on what I know fro personal experience!

Cindy,
I think we just got maple syrup from them! That is an amazing price for beef; is it available by the pound or just 1/4 or 1/2 cow? It might be worth a trip for many pounds of beef! Thanks!

Hannah, I’m curious – who do you get your box from?

Great post as always Katie. We enjoy asking our farmer about all of the animals and bugs that come along with living on a farm. The kids just eat it up. And I love the feeling of getting back to my own family’s (surname Farmer) roots.

Hope you get your hands on some kale soon!

I'm also in love with the Farmer's Market. It is truly a community gathering in my neck of the woods. Plus, the prices are the absolute best that one can find, which is a real consideration when you live on an island where most conventional foods are flown in and offered at a higher cost. Thanks very much for celebrating the benefits of the Farmer's Market. .-= Sandra Lee's last blog: Healthy twig tea =-.
