I used to go to the farmer's market every saturday in my city, I love eating there! Those taste tests the farmers would let you eat some of their sample dishes. A marketing stratedgy which works for me because i really tend to buy want i eat! hehehe! Other than that, the nutrients are there because most of the food bought there are organically grown.

Oh yes I love going to the farmers market. I always get good deals there and cheaper than I could ever grow the stuff, which is a good feeling for me because I am not able to do a garden myself anymore. I especially like the vegetables as I am not a sweet tooth person. I have bought the odd pack of cookies or maybe an angel food cake but not to often. I love the vegetables. The only thing I won't buy is beets. I refuse to cook beets much less eat them.

I love to go to farmer's markets. We can get locally grown veggies and fruits. I love the melons in particular. They are superb at this time of the year, so are the plums and peaches. Some farmer's markets here also have baked goods and frozen goods such as savory and fruit pies. There is also one who has a cooler full of bison products. I find the prices are more expensive than supermarkets but the quality and taste are so much better. I wish I could buy more.

I do sometimes. I like to buy some of the vegetables I didn't grow and just to see what everybody else has. I can usually find some good bargains at the farmer's market.

Although I live in the city, it is only 20 mintues' walk to go to farmers' market. The vegetables is delicious than those in the supermarket. And they are cheaper than those in the supermarket. I buy most of the vegetable from there, such as tomato, cucumber, cabbages, etc.

Yes, I always buy the fruit. Strawberries, rasberries and bluberries. Fresh ones are so good!

I do and I love going to farmer's market. In our country we usually have a day for this. Saturday or Sunday is called market's day and farmers would bring their goods in the market. You just have to be there early because it's the first thing that people usually buy.
