J.T. and I haven’t been to the farmer’s market in quite a few
weeks. Different things have gotten in
the way each Saturday morning. I am
making Swedish meatballs for lunch this Sunday, and I knew I needed ground
beef and ground pork. The prices on ground beef at the
market are half of what you would pay for the Publix Greenwise brand. I bought a chuck roast and served pot roast a
few weeks ago for Sunday lunch. With a
mouth full of roast, my father looked at me in fear as I told him where the
roast was purchased. I reassured him
that the meat from the farmer's market is USDA inspected, antibiotic free, and grass feed. I have purchased it twice before and been
very pleased with the quality and taste.
Up until a few weeks ago, we were going to the Home Grown Alabama
Farmer’s market, which takes place on Thursday.
They have closed for the winter, so the Saturday market is now our
only option. Luckily, J.T. and I are both morning people. We were down at the market shortly after 7:30 this morning buying pork and beef. The things I do for food! (The beef and pork didn't make it into my picture from Publix).
