Fresh and Local: Go to the Farmer’s Market!

Yesterday I went to the Maple Valley farmer’s market (off Maple Valley Highway, on the left past the Testy Chef). I have driven by it countless times, but I finally decided to stop by.

The prices were reasonable and the fresh produce was wonderful. I ate much of the fruit last night – strawberries, mango, kiwi. I will definitely be going back soon! (It’s open this year until October.)

I also made a dinner of whole wheat pasta and vodka sauce, along with asparagus (from the market of course) with garlic and fresh thyme from my garden. Yum!

There’s just something about eating food fresh from the market.
