Farmer's markets have always been my favorite. The vendors are all nice and willing to talk with you about how their food is grown or how their animals are raised. But once I got to the farmer's market, I realized very quickly that I did not bring enough money nor did I have a game plan on what to buy. I left the market with a pound of green beans, fresh herbs, green onions, and two books. The vendors were out of eggs or else I would have left with those too.
While I was talking to the man who was selling me green beans I was very excited to hear that he would be back next weekend with yellow tomatoes. I have no idea what those taste like, so I asked. He said they taste the same but have less acid, I told him I would be back next week to try them. I've also never eaten eggplant so I'll have to try some of those as well.
I had a conversation with one of the meat vendors and we talked about cooking for a little while. He thought it was great that college students can still cook nowadays (well some of us). I told him I would have purchased some if I had more money and he was very kind telling me he would be in Charlotte at their farmer's market next weekend.
