Comments on: Nothing Beats Fresh and Local… http://www.adventuresinshaw.com/2008/05/nothing-beats-fresh-and-local/ Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:53:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: dave http://www.adventuresinshaw.com/2008/05/nothing-beats-fresh-and-local/comment-page-1/#comment-159 dave Sun, 11 May 2008 22:39:11 +0000 http://adventuresinshaw.wordpress.com/?p=210#comment-159 I couldn't agree with you more about farmers markets. Here in NYC we're lucky to have a fantastic network of markets spread throughout the city, and I got hooked soon after I moved here. We've just started getting ramps and asparagus and rhubarb, and strawberries should start to appear next week. It's always much better than the stuff from the supermarket! Like you I enjoy talking to the farmers, and they always seem to take such pride in talking about the food they produce. Some of them have even let me visit their farms (especially when I told them I would write about them on my blog, daveskitchen.com). It's so fun to be able to see first hand how the food is raised, and the beautiful places it comes from. I couldn’t agree with you more about farmers markets.

I am still waiting for the local spring produce to start showing up at the farmers market. Those vegetables look so fresh and vibrantly colourfull.
