Want a fun place to spend an early (not so hot and humid) Saturday morning with friends, family or a just a good cup of coffee? I’ve been hitting the Farmer’s Market downtown and it’s a wonderful way to start the day. Great fresh pastas, (Crab and avocado ravioili, yum!); Locally raised all natural meat from the Meathouse (happy animals, happy food, happy people); Tasty just picked fruits and vegetables, my favorite is Owls Head Farms in Cross SC. Just look at these heirloom tomaotes and the berries are gorgeous! The Chucktown Chicken man is my stop for chicken and eggs. The Giddy Yup goat cheese lady is there too. Lots more farms are represented including the Kennerty, Fields and Thackery groups.

The craft section isn’t the “loving hands at home” potholder versions from our childhood, but quality handmade goods that reflect the area or a fertile imagination. And to top it off…a pony to give a wee one a quick ride.  All alot of fun and the groceries for the week are already bought!  Remember: Shop local-Eat Local-Be Local.
