Supporting Buy Local Week

What did you do this week to support Buy Local Week!  Both of our week day markets debuted for 2014 season so my contribution was simple!

Wednesday I headed to the Cambridge Farmer's Market (Galt) on my lunch. There weren't many vendors but I was still able to get some tomatoes, avocado, potatoes and apples!  Now I know the tomatoes and avocados were not from a local garden but it still helped me for my lunches and dinners this week!  I also supported the Brown Bag Lunch for the Cambridge Self-Help Food Bank and bought myself a tasty lunch!

Some great vendors at this market (only outside - nothing inside the market building).

Thursday was the Preston Town Market which is near and dear to my heart.  I just wish it started at 8 am so I could go there before work.  Again lots of room for growth but I did get some scones, strawberries and garlic.  Also picked up my daughter's favourite Garlic King spread.

Lots of other options too!  Cupcakes, honey, asparagus, baked goods to name a few!  Check it out!

So glad we have such great buy local options!
