Market Season Commences

Saturday was opening day for the Burlington Downtown Farmers' Market,  but I wasn't there due to illness.   It was so kind of my kids to share that with me, don't you think?  ;)

I've been mulling over how to deal with market this year.  I always end up missing out on purchase opportunities due to time and funds not coinciding.  Also, I've been wanting to get back into a 10% mindset where at least 10% of my grocery budget is local grown.  So my plan is to go to market each week with $30 cash specifically for food purchases. (For the record, I do not spend $300 per week...though I bet my kids wish I did).

The goal is to remember to post here with what I've purchased and what I make with it.  Kind of similar to when we participated in a CSA the other fall.  Best laid plans...we'll see what comes of it. 

Do y'all want to join me in this?  Did you hit a farmers' market or stand this weekend?
