But then I realized it was for the senior thing and felt a little less grumpy. Last week, Crum's was the only place at Worthingon with any strawberries, so I waited more than 10 min in line and was one of the last people to get any - this was 20 min after the market opened! This week was much better. I was pretty irritated by the crowd at North Market too – getting into the parking lot was a nightmare!

Well not quite *that* late, but my Saturdays are for sleeping in. Fortunately for me, the local market's still got a lot of high-quality produce after ten. But if I want eggs or herbs, or if we're going to the city, we set an alarm. Came home today with some yummy cherries and apriums I can't keep my hands off. Your strawberries are GORGEOUS!

Low-income seniors could apply to get $45 in coupons for farmer's market produce this summer. Pretty cool program! I just wish I had known about that (and the street closures near the market) before heading out without coffee this morning! http://www.lifecarealliance.org/12909.cfm I was shocked by and grumpy about the crowds this morning – but then I discovered that the line was for senior farmers’ market coupon distribution.

We usually have to go early because any time after 8 you risk not getting a lot of stuff or the left-over stuff :) The fresh produce in your pics are an inspiration to any cook.
