The Avenue Farmer's Market

On Friday we visited the Farmer's Market at the Avenue at White Marsh. It's been on our "to-do list" for quite some time. Part of our healthy new lifestyle means purchasing fresh fruit and vegetables twice a week.
Located behind the A.C. Moore at the Avenue the Farmer's Market features several local farms including Richardson's Farm. It's somewhat small, which is somewhat perfect if your are by yourself with two small children.

Despite the fact that it's not huge, there was a huge variety of produce. We purchased a watermelon, cucumber, 8 ears of corn, 3 tomatoes, and green beans for less than $15. I recommend walking down the entire strip before purchasing anything. This will allow you to find the best bargain for what you plan to buy. We wound up purchasing from three different stands after trying this strategy!

The boys enjoyed looking at all the produce. Caleb got exercise by carrying a watermelon! I have been working on colors with Blake and we were sure to point out the rainbow of colors found in the produce. People probably thought I was a little off my rocker ("Look Blake, green! Yellow! Red!"), but that's okay!

Another fun part of the Farmer's Market is running into friends. Above is a picture of Caleb with a teacher friend's daughter Sierra. What is extra special about Sierra is that her and Caleb share the same birthday! They were born exactly one year apart at almost the same time!

The Farmer's Market is held each Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. through October! The produce couldn't be fresher or more affordable, give it a try!
