Farm Away

A loaf of sourdough costs $9 at the farmer’s market, and everybody seems to think this is a normal price.

I ended up buying nothing because I keep mistaking prices for telephone numbers.

    My general attitude toward farmer’s markets is that they are nice places to hang out and bring your kids. As the vendors make this possible, it is reasonable to spend some money. It is not the food you are buying. You are making a donation.

        It was my wife who first introduced me to farmer’s markets so being an experienced dad really means here knowing to listen to my wife. 🙂

          Yes, but thinking of everything in terms of how it helps entertain the kids, that’s priceless.
