Sometimes the chain supermarkets, though convenient, leave urbanites uninspired in the cooking department. What better way to support your local agricultural industry and inspire seasonal recipes at home than a trip to your local farmers market? Caution though, visiting outdoor markets may become habit forming. Trout Lake farmers market in Vancouver is one I enjoy picking up produce and fresh baked goods from, for other locations in the region check out www.eatlocal.org. With the beautiful summer weather upon us, it’s a great outdoor activity while hitting up the to-do list for groceries. Have you visited your local farmers market lately?
