Have you ever heard of a FREE FARMERS MARKET?

So I already posed the question, but I will re-ask: Have you ever heard of a free farmers market? Farmers markets are really fun. They have so many different types of vegetables, that are fresh from the garden, and are sometimes cheaper than the grocery store. The thing that most people like about them is that the food is grown locally and is organic.

Well to answer the main question, Yes, I can now say I have. Mike Rigby's garden. He is the most generous gardener I think I know and extremely talented. His veggies range from the traditional to the uncommon. The free farmers market is now located on my kitchen floor! I picked veggies for about 2 hours (with the help of Cambria, Mike and Aynna) and brought home at least 200 lbs in veggies. Our car was a little weighed down. I have already given between 1-5 shopping bags full of veggies to 14 people and still have a little bit left.


So if you want some, get creative- learn a new recipe and try something new. Grab a few veggies and try it out.

I made salsa two nights, and it was so delicious we already ate it all.

Now for the pictures!













Not bad eh? It was probably worth at least a couple hundred and was at least 200-300 lbs.

Specials thanks to Mike, Aynna, Eric, Jordan, Jordan's roommate, Hillary, Stacey (and her 3 friends), Caleb, Chris, two of our nieghbors, us and Ligia (for being vegan and taking a lot!) for helping us eat this food!
