Coit Road Farmers Market

The people are so incredibly friendly, it's like a family reunion everytime I shop there! People tell know me and tell me things I might be interested in that I might not have noticed, not just to make a sale, but because they genuinely know that's the kind of thing I want to know -- recipes, "secret" ingredients for really good cooking, alternative ways to prepare different foods, what's coming in soon, what is near the end of the season, how to get more from my own garden ... sometimes I can even request certain veggies, and they'll save some for me (I'm not an early riser!)
