The Farmer's Market

I was reading the newspaper yesterday and came across an ad for a farmer's market that had recently opened up fairly close to where I live. I was thrilled. My good friend L has taken me to some of the best markets in the world and I have been searching for a good one around here for years. You would think that we would have many to chose from being in South Florida but that is not the case. I couldn't even find one.

I got in my car and did the 20 minute drive to find this new market. When I finally found it there were employees in the parking lot directing traffic because it was so busy. I felt like I was in Disney World. I parked in Goofy 22! LOL! It was so busy you would think that they were giving stuff away for free. NOT!!

Once I got inside the disappointment hit me like a ton of bricks. The produce was small and the prices were big. I was able to get some inexpensive Florida grown oranges, mushrooms and red peppers but everything else was below expectation. I would have been better off doing my produce shopping at my usual grocery store, Publix.

I will continue on my search for a good farmer's market. I hope I don't have to wait to go back to LA to find one.
