Check out the local farmers markets

Summer means one thing apparently, rain.

But if you catch a break check out some of the local farmers markets rather than the beast 'Calgary farmers market' which is really a mall.

The other day I stopped in at the Hillhurst Sunnyside farmer's market. It's a small outfit with all the veggies you can find, local meats, treats, and other trinkets and spices.

Prices are all reasonable, sometimes cheaper than the store. How about that, organic apples for less than Safeway?

Oh yea, and I'm on a organic beef binge, but that's another post.


You can also try the Kingsland market, I hear the lamb is quite good.
