said by ekster:Since it's already OT... Speaking of farmer's markets, we have a deal with a specific farm. For about $600, we get freshly picked veggies and fruits all grown on that one farm every single week for the whole season (usually around July to Nov) and they give enough for 3-4 people. We usually end up giving something away to our parents or my brother's family every week. Plus their stuff lasts at least 2-3 weeks longer than anything in the grocery store.
Food's a 1000 times better, fresh, we get all sorts of different stuff that you can never find in the supermarket, and it turns out to be pretty cheap too, considering the quantity, the quality and the type of food...
Makes the winter really hard though, going back to the generic crappy food in the super market. :\
This thread is becoming a train wreck of a derail, but.....
I just signed up for my local farmer's market weekly veggie and fruit pick up. I've been going there for years, but never thought to invest in this. It makes sense for my family size, and the fact that we do cook most nights. Plus, I get 10% off anything I buy at the market. Hell yes.
