Farmers Market Food Finds

Farmers Market Fun
 

• Try a new fruit or vegetable, or prepare your produce in a new way.
   
• Ask the vendor his favorite way to prepare a particular type of produce.  Many have recipes to share.  
   
• Check if there are any special events being planned at the Farmers Market.  Many have cooking demonstrations, tastings, and fun activities for the kids.
   
• Give your children each $2.00.  Let them explore the world of produce and make a new selection.  There is a much greater chance your child will try this new food since it belongs to them.  (When my daughter was 3-years old, she loved the color purple and selected a purple turnip.  To this day, she still enjoys eating raw purple turnips with ranch dip!)
