Farmer’s Market : My Favorite Place to get Veggies

Farmer's Market 3 Farrmer's Market 2 Farmer's Market 4 Farmer's Market(3)I love going to the Farmer’s  Market. Wherever I live, my first assignment is to find where I can get healthy foods. I recently have been trying to eat as fresh as possible to get healthy and to lose a few pounds. Everyone knows the drill , walk the perimeter of the grocery store to eat great! On those aisles,  you will find where the clean eating ingredients are. Apples, Oranges, and Pears, Oh My! There is nothing that tastes better than fresh spinach, kale , collard greens or sweet potatoes.

It costs more to eat healthy than to eat badly ie. Dollar Menus at any drive thru or any weekly special at the favorite pizza place. Eating healthy can break the bank especially if you eat organic. I have the answer to the question of getting on board!

Farmer’s Market are one of the best ways to getting on the healthy train without busting the bank.

My favorite Farmer’s Market is Reilly Road Farmer’s Market  , 445 N. Reilly Road, 910-868-9509.

On any given day you arrive you see rows of fresh vegetables and fruit. For 30 years, this small market has been giving the community varieties of seasonal goodness. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you might get a chance to sample some of their juicy peaches fresh off the truck.  Plump plums, Delicious Apples, Watermelons and the list goes on. Vegetables and Fruits are not the only things found at the market. You can find one of a kind products like seasonings, jams and natural foods made locally or nationally.  One of the major brands carried is the Amish Weddings Food Products. 

Amish Wedding Food Products are all natural food products made in the the Amish Community in Ohio. The name Amish Wedding Food is about traditionally preparing food for an Amish wedding takes about a year to make everything perfect ! I picked up 3 bags of their all natural pastas made from vegetables.

What I would normally spend at my local grocer’s for one bag, I am able to walk with several bags for less that $30 dollars.

Farmer’s markets are best kept secrets  filled with lots of goodies that are organically grown, less pesticides and it just makes you feel good when you bring home your finds.

Where do you discover fresh produce?
