Back in my old town in Maryland, there were TWO farmers markets. There was one that was regularly open on the bypass road called Knills, which offered a variety of things during the week, including homemade pies on the weekend. There were all kinds of fresh veggies, including some you wouldn’t find in the grocery store.
The other one convened regularly on summertime Wednesdays in a parking lot downtown and sold all sorts of things, including more pies.
After I buy a house here in Florida, I will be on the hunt for farmers markets in the area. Given the climate, they’re likely open all year in the Pensacola area.
Check with any of the local leaders (municipal, church, etc.), as they would welcome your local financial support.
Buy locally and support your neighbors, and earn mutual respect for person and the produce (which is probably less expensive).
