The farmers market was lettuce and asparagus heavy. No complaints here!
Developing a relationship with farmers is important to me. They may not remember me, but I remember them.
There's an egg guy from Wil Farms that always talks about his happy chicken. His booth is called Pieter's pantry. The chickens do look happy hanging out in bunches eating the leftovers in his polytunnel. He is from Hermann and offered us to come out and pick over his strawberries that are past their prime. We might take him up on that!
Another farmer was really excited about his tennis lettuce. He said its so sweet that someone who doesn't even like lettuce thought it was not so bad. It is sweet! I am having it for lunch today with a nice piece of salmon.
Our beef lady talked us into some delicious beef jerky when she offered us samples. Both weeks we have bought what she had on offer. That's a smart cookie there. We gobbled up that jerky when we went fishing later that day. It's didn't last long.
This is our haul for the week:
