Red Stick Farmers Market

One of my favorite things to do on Saturdays, besides getting to sleep in, is getting to head downtown to the Farmers Market. 

It makes me happy to get out and talk to the vendors. Try the new stuff they've created and see what they recommend. I haven't been able to go as much as I would want. The markets during the week are always closed by the time I get off work.

I always get my honey from the farmers market. Love getting my eggs and bread from there as well. I even like to get my meat products from a vendor as well. Everything is down there, even dairy products. 

The farmers market reminds me of the markets in France. The access to fresh and local produce is something I enjoy having. Another reason why I like being able to have a garden. 

I bought myself some caramel balsamic vinegar. It had the perfect flavor notes. I could taste the caramel and the balance of the aged balsamic. Sweet and tangy. I have some great ideas for the caramel balsamic vinegar.

The access to all of these products makes me happy and more connected in a sense to the community.

I enjoy talking to the vendors and asking about their products. They are always happy to talk. You get a sense of how proud they are of their product, and happy to hear that you enjoy the fruits of their labor.

I hope that you have access to a farmers market like this. I obviously thoroughly enjoy it. I know I say it a lot, but I don't think I can every say it enough... Support your local farmers and purveyors. I'm happy that I've been able to do this as much as I have living down here in South Louisiana.

I do have a humble garden in my backyard area. I already have a tomato and a bell pepper sprouting... Exciting!
