Introducing… the Rogers Farmer’s Market!

May 16, 2010 2 Comments
Spring has sprung and summer is just around the corner!  What does that mean?
It’s farmer’s market time!!
Wednesday was my first visit to the 2010 Roger’s Farmers Market and I wasn’t disappointed!   Even this early in the season there is a plenteous bounty:  I purchased radishes, romaine lettuce, onions, strawberries, and even two edible flowering plants!
If you haven’t been to the Roger’s Farmers Market, put this on your to-do list.  It is great to support our local farmers.
The picture above showcases Sarah Jones of Sweet “T” farms.  She is just one of the many super-friendly and helpful farmer’s market folks who are eager to help us on our journey to eat local, fresh, and even organic!  It really is a treat to buy fruit and vegetables from someone who can say, like Sarah said to me, “These organic radishes were picked just this morning,” and “these organic strawberries are from a farm in Pea Ridge.”
What a treat, both emotionally and physically!
I hope you are able to get out and explore the Rogers Farmer’s Market.  They are open Wednesday and Saturdays from 7am to 1pm in downtown Rogers on the corner of Arkansas and Elm.
You can’t miss it.  No, really… don’t miss it!
Have you been to the Roger’s Farmer’s Market yet this season? If you’re on twitter, follow them to hear what’s new!
What is your favorite item?  Or, what seasonal fruit or vegetable are you most looking forward to?

    Ohhhh, I can't wait to get some fresh veggies.
    Fresh green beans are my favorite. That's great news that they are open on Wednesday. We never want to wake up early on the weekends.

    Hi angelle…. did you get a chance to go yet?! I agree, I love that they are open on Wednesdays because my Saturdays are completely tied up! I wish more farmer's markets would do the same thing!

    I hope you get to eat your green beans… sooner than later! Meanwhile, have you ever eaten at The Green Bean restaurant in Rogers? They always throw in green beans in the salad! Yum!

    Thanks for your comment! Lyndi

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
