Hess Bakery Pretzels
When was the last time you went to a Farmer’s Market?
The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird and I recently went to the Puyallup Farmer’s Market in downtown Puyallup, Washington. I am not exactly sure how many vendors are in attendance, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the vendor stalls were pushing 200. With tons of fresh local vegetables, flowers, honey and crafts, there is always something for everyone.
Including me. This time around The Girl and I split a delicious salty pretzel {$1.50} from Hess Bakery, and I also picked up a few more heirloom tomato plants {someone stop me!}. I think this brings my heirloom {variety} count to around 34 or 35. Ha! I’ve lost count.
Ahhh Farmer’s Markets. I love them! The next one to visit on our list… The Gig Harbor Farmer’s Market.
If you are live in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area and know of a great Farmer’s Market we should visit this summer, let us know. We would love to drop in, and feature it here on one hundred dollars a month.
Does your town have a Farmers Market? Do you shop there regularly? If so, what is your favorite thing to buy?

The Farming Game ~ available on Amazon.com
Every player starts the game with 20 inherited acres and moves through the months (i.e., around the board) trying to build the farm into an independent, successful concern that will feed the whole family.
A fun game, it also has a serious, educational side–-having been invented by George Rohrbacher, a farmer in Washington State’s Yakima Valley, who thought it up while trying to figure out how to make enough cash to hang on to his family farm. Up to six players, ages 10 to adult. –Richard Farr
And for the Kiddos…
