Farmer's Market

One of my favorite activities is going to the Farmer's Market. There are quite a few in this area, but my favorite by far is Boggy Creek Farm. It is an organic farm smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood in downtown Austin. Free-roaming chickens add to the charm of this little white farmhouse. It is small, but it is ALWAYS busy. I've gone both on Wednesdays and Saturdays at all different times. There is never a dull moment! Check out my Wednesday morning haul!



Fresh okra, peppers (bell and sweet), long beans, andive, potatoes, jarred tomatoes, and smoke-dried tomatoes (I wish you could smell these! YUM!!!).

Not too shabby, right?! So far we've made fried okra and used the potatoes in a casserole. I'm pushing for soup to use the herbs, beans, and tomatoes. Maybe a pepper in there, too, though I'm not a big fan of bells.

Fresh veggies, grown 25 minutes from my house, picked the morning I bought them! The flavor is amazing!
