My adventure to the farmers market

Amazingly I have never been to the farmers market at the Collingwood childrens Farm. It's actually kind of unbelievable if I stop to think about it, but i guess it's not really 'on my way' and I usually don't have extra leisure market time (for some strange reaso?n), and usually I just pop along to Ceres and get my weekly friendly little vegetables. It was a really nice experience to go to the farmers market today though in terms of your weekly veggie shop in can't replace Ceres, what it does have though is extra special fancy farm fresh artisan craft foods. I tasted the softest juiciest oranges I've ever had in my life, bought rock hard beautiful green avocados grown in northen Victoria, sampled delicious dips, olive oils, kiwi fruits and wished that I had a car so I could buy a mushroom growing kit! It was very very exciting to see so many local producers embracing slow food, low food miles and chemical free/conscious/organic/biodynamic farming. Harray for food! And for sunshine!
