I love farmer's markets. I love all of the fresh produce. But I'll be the first to admit that in the summer I don't always make it to the farmer's market. Sometimes they conflict with my teaching schedule, but mostly I find time just gets away from me. I make it some weeks, but not others. And because we have several farmer's markets I have to decide which to attend.
Another idea: the weekly box from Faires Farms. A home delivery program with 24 weeks of fresh veggies, fruits and herbs.
I thought long and hard about whether I would subscribe to this program. It was exactly what I was looking for. But this year my mom is trying to grow a lot in our yard. We put in the greenhouse last year and she's expanding the garden beds. Without knowing how many fruits/veggies we might get, I have to pass this year, but I did want to let others know about this fantastic program.
Thanks for sharing faires farms. Although I don't live in Vancouver, I love the fact that people are paying more attention the food they eat and where it comes from. I think people are developing more of a desire to grow their own food as well! It's such a great thing to do for ourselves and our environment!
