Made sure I had my Chico bag with me, and was off to the first local farmers' market of the season. At the top of my list was fresh picked cherries. I wasn't disappointed, although they were only available at one booth. I also picked up some strawberries and a locally produced olive oil (meyer lemon infused - sweet Jesus is this stuff good!). Non-food item of the day: a small bouquet of sweet peas.Has your local farmers' market started? Did you make it out to a farmers' market this weekend? When you go to a farmers' market, do you have a plan (or "strategies") to get the most from your experience?

OH MAN, those picks you got sound good!!!!!!!!!! Cherries & strawberries & the olive oil does sound wonderful!
Thx for the cool links as well! Have not made it to the local stand lately but need to get there!
In my part of the world, Farmers Markets are a year-long event. Only closed for Easter, Christmas, and New Years. And oh, do I love them!
You're right. Myer Infused Olive Oil ROCKS!
Farmer's markets are the best.
Cherries and locally produced Meyer Lemon infused olive oil will never be an option at a farmer's market around here! I am green with envy Lee! We have dubbed our local market the Non-farmer's market because you couldn't find a farmer there if your life depended on it. Mostly resellers, crafts, bakers, and a few small backyard growers. We still go occasionally and find a few things, but it is pretty hit or miss. That is part of the reason we started trying to grow more of our own food. (And I have been harvesting a few strawberries the last few days.)
i've been hungry for cherries, but wasn't sure if it was too early for them... i'll have to venture out to a local farmers market and check them out!!
Cherries are just like dessert.
