Farmers Market

I went to the Dekalb Farmers Market a couple of weeks ago. My loot:

- a container of organic raspberries     $3.69
- a 127 oz. bottle of Orangina             $2.19
- a packet of strawberry croissants     $3.99

Total: Less than $10.00

Bummed that I couldn't take pictures. Some stray observations:

- My classmates seemed amazed/fascinated by the fish section where people were cutting up live seafood. Odd, it's what I see every Saturday at the Asian markets mother and I go to.

-The farmers market didn't exclusively sell organic items, which makes sense. The people who run it still need to make a profit.

- I was very impressed by the variety of potatoes sold there, along with herbs and spices neatly lined in packaged rows. The signs over each produce declaring its origins and species were interesting as well.

- There was an extensive wine/alcohol selection, especially the beers. I'm not much of a beer snob, but I spotted many unfamiliar ales and stouts.

- Afterwards, we visited a family-run bakery in Decatur. Support your local small businesses!

- I'm not sure Michael Pollan would shop at the Dekalb Farmers Market, though.
