Captain Vegetable

"Today is gone, today was fun, tomorrow is another one!" Thank you, Dr. Seuss.

Around 9:30 this morning, Meghan, Alaina, and I made our way from Guyton to Statesboro in search of a Farmer's Market. Around 10:00 a.m. we entered the market area and proceeded to purchase various and sundry items. These items include (but are not limited to) Charleston Tea (Plantation Peach Flavor), Sweet Onions, Fresh Raisin Bread, Handmade Crafts, Fried Pies, Strawberries, Shelled Garden Peas, Tomato Plants, Basil, and one Blueberry Bush.

I'd call that a successful morning.

Overall, I was pleased with prices and look forward to visiting more local markets in the future. Everything just looked so edible! It was refreshing to see clean, crisp looking vegetables instead of wilted, pre-packaged greens. And the strawberries were so red and flawless that they almost looked fake. I plan to give more support to local farmers. From what I saw today, it's better prices for better produce. I will reserve final judgment until we eat our fresh garden peas.

I feel like the biggest nerd on the face of the planet for being this excited over produce.
