Farmers' Market Finds

After work yesterday I stopped by Orrville's weekly Farmers' market. It was fairly small, but that's what I would expect so early in the growing season. I was able to pick up a couple of nifty things, though...

Considering that yesterday was our wedding anniversary, I was so happy to see some very pretty peonies, which were my flowers at the wedding. I just couldn't pass them up!

Below you'll see what I bought:The strawberries are really quite yummy (considering I'm not really a fan of fruit!) and the cilantro is perfect. I also picked up some asparagus, which is really kindof out of season and didn't look that great, but we'll see how it tastes!

The Massillon farmers' market doesn't open until July. For a list of local farmers' markets, check out http://www.farmersmarketonline.com/fm/Ohio.htm.

Why bother going to a farmers' market? Find out by reading Barbara Kingsolver's newest book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life.

This is my book club's August selection, and I have to say it's one of the best books I've read in a long time. Click on the title's link to visit the author's website to find out more.
