Farmers Market Cake Recipes

50 MUST-TRY FARMERS MARKET RECIPES!

Steps:

• If you are new to visiting a farmers market, my advice is to keep it simple. Don't overbuy! it is really easy to do, especially if you go without a plan. The saddest thing is seeing what you've purchased go to waste because you couldn't go through it all. Start conservatively.
• with "eat-immediately" items- things that will not last very long - like sprouts, lettuce, berries, some fruits. Opt for 1-2.
• with produce that keeps for longer (potatoes, apples, cabbages, winter squashes, leeks, kale, etc) that give you more time to consume them. Buy more of these.
• . Just one. ( I like to go with a plan in mind of what I need for the week, and then just surprise myself at the market with one more beautiful thing- just one!)
• The best tip here! I often buy specialty items like Thai basil, garlic chives, purple basil- thing's I can't readily find at the grocery store.
