Another Family Joins the Local Food Team!

Congratulations to Deana and her sweet family for buying most all they eat from the Franklin Farmer’s Market every week!  That is my home market too and there just couldn’t be a better time of eating local, delicious fresh food…it’s coming out of our ears, ears of corn that is!  So corny.  O.K., I’ll stop.  Deana has started a wonderful blog called www.pinksugarbowl.blogspot.com  to take us all along on their journey of eating all this great food from local farmers..  So, for those of you sitting on the edge and wondering, “can I do this too?”  You will be inspired by her story and figure out you can do this too!  If you don’t know where your local farmers and markets are then be sure to visit www.localharvest.org and punch in your zip code.  I should also tell you that Deana is a professional baker and has a table at the market where she sells her “famous” Whoopie Pies and other assorted treats so be sure to check her out the next time any of you local folk visit the Franklin Farmers Market!  Please let me hear from you all about your buying local experience!

I LOVE Pink Sugar Bowl Whoopie Pies - the coconut ones are to die for!

I compiled a pretty extensive list of Farmers Markets in the Nashville area, and you can find that on my website: http://tnbuylocal.com/farmers-markets/.

The Franklin market is my home market too and it's absolutely my favorite Saturday morning activity! I always buy my milk from Hatcher's Dairy and have been getting the most delicious blackberries from Delvin Farms to make yogurt (yogurt ingredients: whole milk plain yogurt, purred blackberries with seeds strained out and honey from the market). They make great frozen yogurt pops for the kids too!
