Farmer's Market

This weekend my friend's and I decided to go for a walk around downtown.   We went into Thorne's market and looked around the stores there.  We discovered this store that is located on the last floor that is called the Farmer's Market.  As we walked in, there were people playing music and welcoming everyone into the market.  We found that all of the food they were selling came from farms around the area.



Some of the foods were produced in farms from Easthampton and from Hadley, as well as other farms.  The food was all organic and freshly grown from these farms.  They were selling products like different flavors of jams, salsa, cheese dip, carrots, potatoes, meats, beets, breads, strawberry plants to grow them in your own garden and much more.




I tried some cheese samples and the dip samples with chips.  The cheese sample I tried had a fresh, creamy texture, and different flavor compared to the non organic cheeses I am use to eating.  Similarly, the cheese dip tasted creamy and delicious.  Also, I noticed that much of the food products were very affordable.  It is definitely a place I will continue coming to support the organic and fresh products they provide.

Ha! That's not a STORE called "Farmer's Market," that's the actual Farmer's Market! They hold it indoors at Thornes during the winter!
