I would if we had a nice farmer's market close by :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-152295 Tue, 08 May 2012 17:39:32 +0000 woodentulip 152295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get a weekly produce box from local producers, but go from time to time. We buy our eggs from a local market, and will sometimes pick up some delicious other treats. We also bought a 1/4 of a cow (!!!!) and have been working our way through it. What that means is LOTS OF BEEF. I mean...LOTS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-152294 Tue, 08 May 2012 17:39:31 +0000 Mrs. Bee 152294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not as frequently as i would like because it's an uphill walk to get there. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-152289 Tue, 08 May 2012 17:32:29 +0000 mrskc 152289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Used to when I lived by the coast. I loved going. I haven't been to one recently where I live now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-152262 Tue, 08 May 2012 17:15:30 +0000 petuniasandpearls 152262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually go to one in our city 2-3 times a month. We ONLY buy eggs from Farmer's Markets and try to buy more of our produce from there too. We live in Texas and we're very close to peach season so I will probably go every week just to buy fresh peaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-152185 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:21:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 152185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to ours weekly, and try to buy as much of our veggies and salad greens there as we can. The quality and flavor is about 100x better than what you get at the grocery store for the same veggies, and the prices are reasonable (especially if you factor in quality). The farmer’s market is the only place I’ll buy eggs. We also buy lots of yogurt and cheese there, as well as meat and honey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-152178 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:15:32 +0000 MusicaV 152178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to go to them almost every week, but then we moved. The market near us now is pretty disappointing, so I don't usually buy when I go there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-152031 Tue, 08 May 2012 14:56:35 +0000 sslm 152031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love going to the one near out house!! It's dog friendly and awesome. It's opening this weekend too!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-152002 Tue, 08 May 2012 14:44:01 +0000 autumnlove 152002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Farmer's Markets but I always seem to miss them or not have cash! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-151997 Tue, 08 May 2012 14:41:19 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 151997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From time to time. We do have a CSA share that we split with my parents. For 30 dollars a week we get a very nice assortment of fruits and veggies delivered from June through November. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-151923 Tue, 08 May 2012 14:10:40 +0000 nana87 151923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>occasionally we do, but for the past 4 years we've been getting our summer produce via farm-shares/csa's--you pay one lump sum in early spring, and then get a weekly supply of veggies throughout the season. it's a similar concept, in that you're supporting the local farmers and getting fresh produce, but you don't get as much choice. we've learned to eat some things we never would have tried before--like garlic scapes, which are awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-151905 Tue, 08 May 2012 14:00:38 +0000 Alivoo01 151905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope bc their hours of operation are normally during our working hours on the weekend. When we're on vacation, and there's a farmers market nearby, I always stop by and indulge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-151885 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:51:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 151885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do, but not for everything. The one near us is so small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-151882 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:50:36 +0000 mrsjyw 151882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Not all the time, but we love going down to Eastern Market for their flowers in Springtime and we make sure to get some fresh, organic fruits/veggies while we're there... we usually head down at least a few times during the spring/summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-151877 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:49:54 +0000 DillonLion 151877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Occasionally! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-151876 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:49:34 +0000 heffalump 151876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one right down the street every Thursday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-farmers-markets-1#post-151872 Tue, 08 May 2012 13:48:06 +0000 mediagirl 151872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This weekend will be the first weekend of the season that I'll be able to head down to the NC State Farmer's Market. I can't wait! They always have the most delicious selection of fruits and vegetables and...it's strawberry season!! That means huge containers of them will be coming home with me. My favorite (and ridiculously expensive) bakery shows up, as well. I always have to get a big hunk of bread from them.</p> <p>Do you shop at Farmer's Markets? </p>
