We both love to wander aimlessly on the weekend, running errands and just following the day wherever it takes us. Admittedly the day sometimes doesn’t venture too far from the couch but some days take us to interesting places.
Today we ventured to the Logan Square Farmer’s Market. I am a lover of all types of markets big and small (see previous post) and I visit them as often as I can; even if just to browse for inspiration. I have long been aware of the Logan Square market but had never wandered over there. We had a mission to accomplish this day, we had to pick-up our meat share from the local farmer from whom we get our meat and eggs.
It was one of those crisp early fall days that make you not mind that fall is coming faster than you wish it was. We did not have a need for vegetables as we had just picked-up our veggies earlier in the week (different farmer) but we did find some coffee and a little breakfast. We have been on a crepe kick lately (all health, all the time) and found a stand within the market to fill the void. While the crepes ended-up being disappointing, overall it was a great day.
If you haven't been to one of the farmer's markets in the area, I encourage you to seek one out. It's a great way to spend a few hours on the weekend and you may find some inspiration for a meal or two. If you already have a meal plan in mind, the market is a great way to get organic, seasonal produce at much better prices than the local chain grocery stores and the bonus is you will be supporting a local farmer with your purchase.
