One of my favorite things....

On Saturday the Downtown SLC Farmer's Market opens back up! Yay! I'm super excited. I love it. I try to go as many Saturday's as I can until the season closes down. The best time to go is like 9am, cuz you've missed all the people who think it's easier to get their early & you're too early for the lunch crowd, which gets too crazy for me. I'm not really a fan of crowds so I like less people. Later in the season they have a Wed night Grower's Market which is just the north row that has all the fruits & veggies. And sometimes i'll go to that instead cuz really I could care less about the crafts. Sorry crafters, I know it took time to make all those items but it's not really my thing. And besides you're always over charging anyway. Hahaha! The first of the season is ok, cuz I still get my bread & pastries but if you're not into peas, beans & other random spring/early summer veggies then it's not so great. Once you get to about mid-July then the fruits start showing up but the best is August & September/October. Then everything is out.

Also, did anyone know that Bountiful has a Farmer's Market on Thursday nights??? I like it too! It's been getting bigger & bigger each year. It's on 100 So. & 100 E., just off Main. At first it was just a few farmer's & a couple food vendors but now there is a bunch of food & a bunch of crafts. I did buy a purse there last year & some Juicy Couture Jewelery, so I guess those booths aren't a total waste. I like to get my honey there too. FYI, if you have seasonal allergies, then you should buy local honey. I don't 'memba why but I heard that from some random honey guy.

So, I hope to see you there! I'll be there with my re-usable shopping bag, some coffee & maybe even some frosting on my face from my Marzipan Bar that I have to get every week! :)
