You have heard me talk about my love of my local farmers market before. Â I wanted to share with you more information about mine and hopefully encourage you to visit one close to you. Â 10 years ago when I moved to Leesburg VA, the local farmer’s market was not much of a happening place. Â I would occasionally visit it, but now I feel depressed if a week goes by and I am unable to attend. Â Our market has grown to the point that it is year round and there is a LONG waiting list to be one of summer vendors. Â What I like most about our market is that the vendors have to apply and be approved to sell there, plus everything they sell has to be grown or produced within 125 miles of Leesburg. Â That way I know everything I purchase is supporting a local farm. Â In the picture you see my bounty from this weeks shopping adventure. Â I don’t have a plan for all the produce yet but I foresee a risotto and probably a pizza in my cooking adventures this week.
