One of my favorite weekend stress relievers to hit the Courthouse Farmer’s Market on Saturday morning for fresh produce, and due to a Friday night poker addiction, I haven’t made it out this season yet. I managed to make it this past Saturday, picking up some strawberries (pictured) and some basil seedlings for my garden, as well as some great pictures.
If you haven’t been out to the Farmer’s Market lately, do yourself a favor this weekend and go. Get some fresh tomatoes from Toigo Orchards, or some of their amazing sauces, get some local mozzarella or ricotta from Blue Ridge Dairy, some homemade soap from Mount Harmony Soaps, or something for your garden from any of the garden vendors. You’re supporting local businesses, local people, and you get some sunshine.
