I spent $12 at the farmer's market today, and another $70 at our local health food store. I know that I can get some of the things I bought today at Trader Joe's for less. Oh well - I was at least supporting a locally-owned business that values the things I value, environmentally speaking. But for $70 I would have brought home more food from Trader Joe's, so part of me does feel a bit bummed.
I bought some dipping chocolate yesterday, and DD and I made chocolate dipped dried apricots. Today we're going to dip a few of the gigantic strawberries we bought today. I can't wait for plum, pluots and other summer fruits to make their way back to the farmer's market.
