To market, To market- jiggity jig!

No fat pigs bought here!!! Instead some farmer’s market seasonal produce!

Yum! I’m going to miss the farmer’s market when they’re gone! October is the last month. Boo-hoo!

Although, the organic farm in Lake Elizabeth (the nearby mtn. town) is is open year-round. Which is nice to know. I love going every Saturday and buying up fresh produce from farmers who are local. They’ve even had Zinnia’s, Calendula, & Sunflower’s to buy! Love it. I think I’m going to take my camera next time I go and snap a few photo’s of the farmer’s market freshness.  I always take my Inconvenience  Bag with me- I love that’s it’s canvas (perfect for fruits & veggies) and love their message (they have some pretty awesome designs too!). While at the farmer’s market they tried to give me plastic today but I wasn’t having it. REFUSAL successful.

Here’s what I bought today:

- 1 lb. Kale,

- 1 lb. Swiss Chard

-  1/2 lb. Okra

- 6 ears of Corn

- 1 yellow mellon

- 4 Zinnia’s

I couldn’t wait to get home and make a GREEN smoothie. Get your daily greens by mixing them in to your fruit smoothies- I promise you’ll never know the difference!

Here’s what I put in mine this A.M.

(all organic)

- 1/4  cup of blueberries

- 1 peach cut in half and sliced with skins on

- 1/2 cup of strawberries

1 heaping tablespoon of local clover honey

- 1 cup of H20

1 handful of Red Chard

Add ingredients into blender and hit the smoothie button- or blend away!

****Result*****

A delicious GREEN smoothie. See! You’d never know the difference… YUM! 

We’ve been re-using these Del-Monte peach mason jars (from Costco) as our glassware- fancy, if I do say so myself!

Tomorrow we to pick peaches & pears from the local farmer up the street! We bought a few last week and they were soooo delicious.

Today, is World Wide Day of Play!  Get your kids out there and celebrate nature! We’re off to the park!

Catch ya’ll later. Hope you’re having a marvy weekend!
