Each Friday throughout the summer (starting the week after Memorial Day, and ending in October), there is a Farmers' Market down town. Although I'm not in need of many fruits or vegetables, I try to make it every week. There are plenty of peripheral products, such as crafts, homemade jams and jellies (and fudge!), and even all-natural soaps. I usually end up spending a few dollars every week, usually on Whoopie Pies or some other sweet treat. The image at left is a Whoopie Pie, for those of you who may be unfamiliar.
One of the "anchors" at the Farmers' Market is Moser's Garden Produce. Their farm is located in Centre Hall, Pennsylvania. Their produce and plants are among the best---always fresh and very reasonably priced. I've been buying fresh produce from them for a number of years, but it wasn't until this year that I bought actual plants.
