Crystal Lake Farmers Market

What a joy to walk through the little park area next to the trai station, filled with stands of fresh produce, meeting the people who put their love in growing the fruits and veggies. This is the real life! And the real food. I wish for this to continue and to grow! I just bought some strawberies yesterday and the taste was incredible. Like from my mom's or grandma's garden some years back:-). I am voting as a way to say thank you to the farmers for all their dedicated work, for facing the challenges not only of the weather but also the trend in how we produce food these days. They are holding the hope for us, that we can still have a good and fresh quality food to nourish our bodies. Their mission is so important. All of the farmers markets are important, this one is more important for me as it is right at my doorsteps. And I am filled with gratitude!
