There’s something about Farmers Markets that really warms my heart. Maybe it’s because you meet the people behind the business or because you see first hand the passion and drive these entrepreneur’s possess and it can be so inspiring. Or maybe it’s because you leave with home made goods or delicious food! Whatever it is, I love a good Farmers Market.
