Default Re: Do you support local merchants?

We don't even have a farmers market here. Not really. There is a community garden that holds a little market from July to frost (um that could be August LOL) I check it out. It is usually a few of the gardeners with a few extra zucchinis to sell. Although last year there was a lady that was selling raspberries. I really hope that she does it again this year as they were yummy. Since I only now have one surviving raspberry bush (darn dogs!), I want to buy enough from her to freeze. I also put out a request on freecycle for anyone that has extra fruit from their trees that we would be willing to come and pick. Unfortunately there is just no real farming done in this part of Wyoming. We do get folks from Colorado, New Mexico and Nebraska that sell on road side stands. Last year we got some amazing peaches from a vendor from CO and some great corn from NE. None of it was organic or really local but it was fresher than the grocery store stuff and I liked supporting farmers directly.
