To “Bring Cash” I would add, bring small bills if you can. Vendors usually have some small bills to make change, but they’ll appreciate not having to use all their change to give you back $17 of your $20.

If you’re the 50th person that day to pay with a $20 bill, you might just have to buy $20 worth of veggies! :)

Whenever you make it out to Madison, you’ll have to try to get here before/during Saturday morning. We claim to have the largest producer-only farmer’s market in the whole country! We also have several restaurants that feature or limit themselves to local ingredients.

Thanks roomie :) I’m hoping to eventually grow most of my own food myself. Chris’s family raises cattle, so all the beef we eat is already local! I’m excited to continue to localize my pantry by visiting farmer’s markets. There are apparently more around than I thought-some close to me, others not-so-close…If anyone else from the Cincinnati area happens to read this blog, there are farmer’s markets in Anderson, Milford, Batavia, Wyoming, Hyde Park…and the list goes on. You can find them if you click the links on this blog in reference to farmer’s markets.

I shop a tiny farmer’s market in one of my towns – and I honestly go for the experience of buying food out in the sunshine as much as I do for the actual produce. It’s fun! It’s community!
