I know I can't be the only one on here who loves his or her local farmer's market. I'm going to the Waterville, Maine one later today for the last time of spring semester and I'll definitely be hitting up the Concord, NH one when I'm home. I love the people and the food at both. Pics to come of what I pick up.

Holla FarMar finds!

I can't wait for the FM season to be in full swing. The food is going to be so fresh it'll need a slap before it's served.

I much prefer the flexibility (and pastries) offered by a farmer's market haha. My mom grows a decent amount of veggies and a bunch of herbs, but nothing near an actual farm.

word to that, so many AMAZING food vendors here at my FM here in WA. not only that but my boss is all about buying local; so during the months it's running i get to buy the majority of my veggies for events locally. :)

Fuck that. Plus I can get what I actually need, CSA you might end up with more than you eat. For me, CSA is pretty much just as far haha.

Spencer, if I ever come to WA, where do you work?

I'm the sous chef for a catering company in walla walla. They also operate two other sandwich shops in the area that work under the same principle.

Graze: a place to eat (downtown shop, sit down location, ULTRA busy lunch hour)
Graze: a drive thru (basically same menu, no seating, Subway-style super over to turn out sandwiches in >1 minute instead of 5+ with standard convection oven)
