Happy National Farmers Market Week!

I love this week! What's better than fresh organic fruits and vegetables, hot from the sun and hand-picked by people you know, mixed arrangements of beautiful flowers, organic juices, coconut water, and even hearth-baked breads? 

Not sure anything is better! I love the smells, the eclectic variety of people walking about, the dogs, babies, strollers, and random watermelons decorating the pavement.  You can buy anything from jade jewery to raw local honey, to a decadent vegan donut, and to the most beautiful yellow heirlooom tomatoes in one shopping experience! 

My favorite market is the one in Red Bank, and my favorite stand is the organic produce stand...

I head straight for it.


This past Sunday, they had purple and white potatoes, kale, cucumbers, basil, garlic, oodles of colorful, heirloom tomatoes, and beets! 

I love these guys (thanks, Nicole, Lisa and Laura!) and the fact that they work hard, bring us quality nutrition, and even share some of their favorite ways to make the food is a steal at these prices.  

You can eat like a king and queen for under $10.

I also really love Herbertsville Honey, since they are local, raw, and know that they are good to their bees.  

They also make the most wonderful honey and can even share with you how to have your own beehive in a sustainable, kind way in your own backyard! 



So be sure to go out and visit a market this week and see all the glorious food that abounds! And enjoy the pics of some of my favorite market produce!
