I buy stuff that holds longer like root veg, cabbage, potatoes, hard squash and apples.<br/>-kattmaxx Our local produce stand puts everything half off the day after halloween so they can clear it all out and turn into a christmas tree lot.

Unfortunately, it is 25 minutes away for us and with the gas prices as they were we didn't go as often. I hope to next year though. We love our farmers market the big one.

It's been disappointing to pay more at a farmer's market than I would at Kroger. However, we have a great local produce market that gets much of their produce from local/regional sources and their prices are fantastic.

I did that with several pounds of zucchini from our garden. Of course I now have no freezer space.<br/><br/>I don't shop at my local farmer's market for a few reasons. One of the big ones is that the same people have stands and these people all sell to the local restaurants and grocery store and price it accordingly. Occasionally you can find a great deal, but even the pies are made with frozen store bought berries. Why, oh why. Especially when the fruit is in season. It makes no sense. (yeah I know because I asked if they had a blackberry patch, only if you count the local grocery store's frozen aisle) Thats awesome! I did that with several pounds of zucchini from our garden.

I won't do it again...it's been too hard to plan ahead with not knowing what I'll get and then once I get my box I'm scrambling to figure out how to use everythign before it goes bad. (Any idea how to use about 10 turnips and 25 radishes?) I want to go back to our Farmer's Market next year, so I can pick and choose according to what I want to make. Our market is on Saturdays only though, and has lots of farmers coming in each week. It's rather busy, but I'm looking forward to going back next year.
