Transgressions & Transactions at the Farmer’s Market
On my weekly visit to the Ballard Farmers Market, I was drawn to the Full Circle Farm’s stall by this beautiful bok choy with such slender stalks. The proprietor described how tender the stalks are, he said “they just slip onto your fork.” We then moved on to discuss the arugula and how it’s a favorite of Barak Obama. After I paid for the bok choy, he said “thanks, love.” Another overheard conversation at the Nash’s produce stand, a tip to get your kids to eat carrots. Try pureeing them into homemade mac n’ cheese, the carrots will provide the orange color that we have become accustomed to. The tag around the Full Circle Farms bok choy says “Don’t Panic, It’s Organic!” Visit your local farmers market an experience you won’t get at the grocery store.
