Farmer's markets are little neighborhood gems. All of the fresh, organic, hand-made, home-grown, artisan and gourmet options make a trip to one make you feel like a better person instantly. I think my love for farmer's markets started when I was a little girl, years ago, at a Brooklyn market with my mom.
I was eyeing a spread of the smallest apples (crabapples, I would later learn) I had ever seen when my child's curiosity got the best of me. I grabbed one. My mom scolded me, but the farmer didn't mind. He went so far as to give me one for free! Every market since then has been just as wonderful an experience. The farmers are always nice and really get my need for free food and samples. So basically I guess what I'm saying is if I can get something for free, I'm game.
As soon as spring hits, I make an effort to go to my closest market. Since it's outdoors, dressing comfortably is a primary goal.Thank goodness sweatpants in public has become socially (and sartorially) okay. Kudos to those on high for this trend. And kudos to you, kind farmer from my childhood, for igniting my love for fresh produce and free samples.
*If you can't stomach just wearing sweats in public, add a few unexpected dashes of fancy. I wore my favorite Tory Burch earrings.
