Farmer's Markets

One of the things that excites me most about spring is the return of the farmer's market. This is actually rather surprising. If you had talked to me about a farmer's market just a few years ago, I would have patiently listened, all the while waiting for an opportunity to change the subject. My extreme lack of interest, however, was due to my inexperience. I have found farmers markets to be a wonderful way for me to connect with my community. This is a big deal for me, because, typically, outside of my circle; community connection held no luster. That previously held view of mine, however, has undergone a seismic change...for the better!

..........ahh the allure of homemade gourmet jams!
