We have been in VA for just over a week and have gotten 98% of our stuff unpacked thanks to the tireless efforts of our friend Jen and her willingness to sweat through box after box when our ac wasn't working.
Today we decided to venture to the local farmers market. Apparently this is the place to be on Saturday mornings and, having formerly lived in an area with a thriving weekly farmers market, I was super excited!
Seeing as we are now early morning people thanks to the 2 midgets who run our household, we were up at 6am and out the door by 7:15am. We had some directional issues, but found the market without too many wrong turns. Seeing as it's only 3 miles from our house you'd think we could've found it quicker.
We saw tons of beautiful flowers and produce. It wasn't as inexpensive as what I was used to; however, the quality of products was apparent.
We bought peaches and nectarines from a couple who had been selling at the farmers market for 40 years. They had to be in their 80's and were so cute!
We also got veggies, fresh caught trout, and wild boar chops!
My favorite part was the hot, fresh, glazed donuts and coffee! Hubby loved the blueberry lemon bread he got.
Two hipsters were selling kombucha. As I see my healthy friends always posting on Facebook about how much they love kombucha I decided to try some. They were set up like a beer truck with different flavors of kombucha on tap. You could choose what you wanted by the glass or they'd bottle it right there for you. As I had never had any the nice young man started pouring different samples. I love iced tea so I thought I'd like it. I thought wrong. I first tried a mint flavor. I was NOT expecting it to taste so fizzy. And it did NOT taste like iced tea. I declined trying the straight up ginger flavor as I hate ginger. I next tried a combo of peach and crap with a little ginger. The words that came out of my mouth were, "I can taste the ginger. I don't like it." What I wanted to scream was, "I just threw up in my mouth. Get it out! Get it out!" He then asked me if I liked hops. I like beer so I said yes. Imagine the most disgusting beer in the world and that's pretty much what this tasted like. As I tried not to gag I guiltily ordered a bottle of the mint kombucha. Why does healthy stuff taste so so bad???
As we were leaving we saw another set of hipsters brewing coffee. Our friends Cody and Ryan are super into brewing expresso and they talk about it way too much. I asked these hipsters if I could take their picture and this is what I ended up with. I'm sure Cody and Ryan will appreciate this as their future. I did end up buying a $5 cup of coffee, but if I bring the coffee cup back next week they'll give me my $5 back! And the coffee wasn't half either!
