Great Produce this week at the Farmers Market

July 20, 2011 By: Scott Whitley Category: Community, Events, Life

My wife and I went to the Farmers Market in West Lafayette, Indiana this evening after work to see what our local farmers had to offer. I looks like it has been a good year so far for them. The corn is starting to show up at the market and the other vegetables like okra, zucchini, squash, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes are looking very nice. The farmers market is not the cheapest place to pick up you vegetables but it is certainly the freshest and probably the best tasting.

For those of you who want something more there are also assorted jewelry booths, a tie dye booth, and some very good smelling pastry booths. You should come out to the next Farmers Market and see what you can take home for the table.

For more information and upcoming places, dates, and times, go to www.lafayettefarmersmarket.com. See you there!
