Hmmmm...
Maybe I should just make a series on
my weaknesses. Kinda like the blueberry danishes
at the coffee shop called the Perky Owl
in Yarmouth. Oh mylanta!
If you ever get the chance, go eat one!
To die for!
That is where I am at the moment.
Dave is in surgery for a hernia so I have all day to kill.
Grocery shopping is done, drugstore run is done and lunch is done.
I can only wander around for so long. The more I wander around the
more I buy unnecessary stuff.
So I actually thought ahead and
brought my handy dandy mini computer.
Well I digress..
My weakness...
Farmer's markets!
I love them!
Ok, enough with the !!!exclamation marks!!!
But honestly,
I love farmer's markets.
We were in Wolfville Saturday for an orchid show
(that's another post)
I don't know what it is about markets.
The smell? All those wonderful smells,
from coffee, to Indian food, fresh bread,
chocolate? I don't think so. Yes, the smells are part of it
but I don't think that's the only thing.
I think it's a combination of all different things,
smells, colours, the type of people that go
to farmer's markets, the music. It's everything
all rolled into a heartwarming experience.
The vendors and buyers have all one thing in common,
fresh, quality produce, crafts etc...at reasonable prices.
We also have the "we want to save the planet one reusable bag
at a time." mentality.
The Wolfville farmers market is one of the best ones I've seen.
Well in a small area anyway.
The large farmers markets like in St. Jacobs or Kitchener, those are
a different ball of wax.
So I couldn't help but take pictures of the vendors and some products to share with you guys..

| What can I say! So this is a very small part of the Wolfville farmer's market. If you ever get a chance to drop in you won't regret it. They're open Wednesdays and on Saturdays. I'm not sure of the hours, but you can find them on Facebook. |
Do you like to visit farmer's markets?
What do you like about them?
Have a Blessed day

yes I like a farmers market but we don't have many in this area, when they do have one it is usually Saturday and who wants to go to town on a Saturday with tourists and traffic:)
