I love that I can talk with the farmer and ask questions. And I can experiment with new produce I've never had before.

When we are in Spain, we have a similar experience, but here in the States, we rely on local farms and farmers' markets. We have a short growing season here, so I really appreciate that summer produce once it's ready. Thank you for visiting. I hope you come back again soon.

The local produce is always better than what you can buy at Wal-Mart or Kroger and of course the money is going to a good cause to support the local folks, but I guess when you get out of the habit plus when you are frequently traveling is tough to make time to get there.

There's also tons of fruit stands along the old highway not far from our house. I love shopping there instead of the grocery store in the summer. We also grow a garden every year and my parents have a ton of fruit trees.
