The Lawrence Farmer’s Market

It makes me so happy that the Lawrence Farmer’s Market is back open in full swing for the Spring and Summer.  It is my favorite Saturday morning routine to get up early, grab a delicious iced coffee from Henry’s, and mosey through the Farmer’s Market, picking up the most tasty fresh veggies and beautiful flowers.  They also have lots of home made food items for sale like hummus, cookies, bread, honey and cheese.

Its still early in the season, so the vegetable offerings aren’t quite as diverse as they get during June-August, but there was still much to enjoy.  I picked up some eggs, rhubarb, green onions and honey.  I love fresh eggs.  Behold:

But perhaps my favorite thing about the Lawrence Farmer’s Market is seeing all of my favorite Lawrencians there.  I was lucky enough to go with a great friend of mine this past Saturday and we saw several friends during our stroll through the market.  And of course, lots and lots of colorful Lawrence characters.

If there’s a Farmer’s Market in your community, try to visit it sometime!  It is simply the best place to get fresh (usually organic) produce and flowers, plus, there’s a real sense of community.  And if you’re lucky enough to live in Lawrence, you really owe yourself a visit!!
