Cobblestone Farmers Market
So excited as my local farmers market in downtown Winston Salem NC has just started back up again on the corner of Patterson and third street on Tuesday mornings. It features a good selection of seasonal produce, organic grass fed meats and fresh breads. You can also find soaps and other homemade items. Its fun to chat with the farmers get tips and learn about the growing process. So come along I will show you around also don't forget if you have farmers market pictures be sure to share on twitter each Tuesday and tag #tuesfoodmarket I also have a pinterest board and would be happy to add you as a contributor. Or share on the chow and chatter facebook wall :-)

there was even a baby pig for kids to pet :-)
Bok Choi

The best thing about the market is it just gets better, as more and more fresh produce comes into season.
Hope you can join me on Tuesday's around the world, if you don't tweet you can share on chow and chatter's facebook wall too:-)
Have a lovely weekend
Much love
Love it Rebecca! :)
ReplyDeleteJust loving tasting the season!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, even in our little mountain town we have a great farmer's market on the square on Saturdays. An organic farm brings in produce and we never fail to show up in time for something delicious and very fresh.
ReplyDeleteKids are looking great Rebecca. Glad they enjoy going with you. Funny, on our way home from the farmer's market, we always stop at the library and check out something to read for the weekend.
Sam

DeleteWhat a lovely Farmers Market!
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteI love shopping at the local markets. I enjoy speaking with the farmer, especially my friend the egg man. He happily takes me used egg containers and fills them up and then tells me when the eggs were laid. If I nudge him and say I'm going home to make breakfast he'll give me eggs that were laid yesterday. I don't get that at the supermarket!
ReplyDeletenow thats cool adore fresh eggs
DeleteLooks great! I went to a farmer's market today too. I loaded up on some good stuff, including mushrooms (which are amazing in Japan!). I am looking forward to my upcoming trips because I will be visiting as many markets as I can in the various countries I visit, so I'll share those pics with you (and on my blog of course). Most of my time will be spent in Israel, France and Spain, but I have a few surprise locations up my sleeve.
ReplyDeleteoh wow so happy for you have fun

ReplyDeleteWe do love the farmers markets. We have been stopping at our Amish market a lot lately because it is closer and open during the week. A great place to get local eggs, cheese, and produce.

DeleteLove Cobblestone Farmer's Market. We were farmers there for the past two years selling our goat's milk soap and will miss partipating this year. In December, 2011, we opened a Farm Store on our farm in Forsyth County. We now sell eggs, grass-fed beef, pasture raised lamb and free range chicken from our animals along with local products from neighboring farms and our soap. We have lots of goat items too. Our creamery is in its finishing stage and we hope to be making aged goat cheese by the end of the year - - buffalocreekfarmandcreamery.com and we're on FB too!
ReplyDeleteRobin oh wow very cool congrats on the store will like your page on facebook for sure
