Strawberry Streusel Bread
REI Garage Deal of the Day
I LOVE farmer’s markets and support them and shop at them whenever I can. Awesome produce, awesome people. And when I go to a farmer’s market, I’m there for the produce. I’ll buy a loaf a bread or a pastry treat if something looks amazingly delicious, though. But according to 
The article gives insight from some growers who have seen their sales tank in recent years, like Zach Lester, co-owner of Tree and Leaf Farm in Unionville, Va, {their sales dropped by $50,000 per year}. “The customers have changed,” says Lester. “A lot of people that walk through markets are not shopping. They’re there to meet. They’re there to socialize.” They’re there to eat and drink, not shop for ingredients.
I have noticed a younger crowd at many farmer’s market, almost a hipper crowd, but I never really paid much attention to it. Or to what people had in their shopping bags {if they even had shopping bags!}.
Fast forward to yesterday morning when Mrs. HB picked me up so we could take her dog for a walk around the harbor. We were yakking away and as she parked the car I happened to look down and noticed 2 tubes of lip balm next to her center console.
I instinctively opened the center console real quick {like you would open a door if you were trying to catch a kid in the middle of doing something naughty}…
And then I was like OH MY GOODNESS WOMAN…
There was even lip balm hidden under the seat of the car for Pete’s sake!
It was hilarious.
