It took me a couple of weeks to get into the groove of remembering to go to our local Farmer’s Market which is held up in the Skaneateles Community Center parking lot on Thursdays from 3:30PM - 6:30PM. Fortunately for me and my forgetful self there is also an Organic Farmer’s Market held on Saturday mornings in the Skaneateles P&C parking lot.

Don’t forget to shop local folks, it really is worth the extra effort. The food is so fresh, no middle man and I’ve found the pricing to be a little less than the grocery store. A complete win, win situation for the farmer and the consumer. This is such a gift for such a short period of time in CNY so don’t let it slip by. Plus you are sure to discover some unknown treasure that is available right in your own backyard. This year I discovered this out of this world olive oil sold by one of the vendors at the Thursday Farmer’s Market. We are going through it like crazy with all of our summer salad eating and today he assured me I could buy it all year round from him. It really is good stuff!

Oh yeah! My one other place where I totally love to shop local was just written up in an article by Julia Reich for the Auburn Citizen. Here’s a website link to the lovely article. Keep up the good work at Schoolhouse Farms and Borodino Market. Great picture of the inside of the Borodino Market!
