To Market, To Market


One of the best things we have done in the last six months is to buy as much of our produce as possible from farm markets and roadside stands.

This one is just outside the little town of Comox on Vancouver Island. Squash were $1 each, which I thought was unbelievable.

We also buy fresh eggs from farms and even cheeses when we can. It has been a long time since these urban dwellers have bought a dozen safeway eggs and we are loving it.

Every little town has options if you look for them.

Paul has also taken his banjo to the markets and played there. These markets have all kinds of people playing instruments, singing, and generally doing their best to make a good sound. Good people, good fun, good heart.
