a wealth of produce
this past saturday i decided to wake the whole family bright and early and venture out to the farmer’s market at the pearl brewery downtown. though the selection was small, the atmosphere was pleasant. i had some wonderful tea, richard sampled a shot of bantai civet, and josiah squirmed and fussed through a bbq demonstration. i could not have done all my shopping here, but what they had was very nice.
i enjoyed the farmer's market more than josiah!
san antonio has a reputation for having a poor selection of farmer’s markets. richard and i recently attended a cooking class focused on cooking with local ingredients where we received an exhaustive list of area farmer’s markets; i was impressed with how many there are! i have passed that list onto you here with a word of encouragement to visit your nearest farmer’s market and give it a try. support your local farmers and spread the word that san antonio is a greener city than most believe!
