The USDA recently designated this week (August 4th-10th) as National Farmers Market Week! If any of you have never visited a Farmers Market, I sincerely encourage you to do so. It is such a different experience with a much livelier and friendlier atmosphere than any other kind of market out there. A lot of people bring their dogs with them, and there are free samples given out left and right! (I'm sure it's possible to eat an entire meal at the Farmers Market exclusively made up of samples).
