In addition to seeing a slew of garage sales and yard sales every Friday I also see a variety of roadside markets for fresh local produce. Today was no exception and I was very happy to see them since a tornado decided to ruin the farmer’s market yesterday. I found organic sweet corn grown and sold by a 12 year old boy (I bought 3 dozen), red and yellow tomatoes, squash, and strawberries. The first thing I dug into was the yellow tomatoes. They were incredibly sweet and a true summer delight. I just sliced them up and sprinkled with a little salt and voila…yummy!
There is nothing like eating local and eating seasonally. I really think that nature knows best and everything we need for health comes to us exactly when we need it.
So what is available locally where you live right now?
