farmer's market

A while back our family made a commitment to eat as much organic and natural produce as we could. Watching the documentary, Food, Inc., made this decision for us. Now knowing what goes in our meats and produce, I don't think we could do it any differently.

And besides, the difference in the taste is so worth it!

A couple of day ago we decided to head to the farmer's market. Jason took Polaroids of the event.



We bought some of the yummiest homemade strawberry preserves made by mennonite women!

When we were done buying our produce, we headed over to the strawberry patch to let the girls pick some strawberries. At a $1.99 pound, we couldn't resist!

I have definitely been trying to buy and cook more natural food. I read Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma last year and I was totally convinced. Haven't seen the documentary yet but plan to soon. Jones Orchard is awesome! We took pictures of Austin in their pumpkin patch right around his first birthday, he was wearing a jack-o-lantern sweatshirt, so cute! Things have been so crazy we haven't made it out there this year, but I'm really looking forward to hitting a bunch of farmers markets this summer. It just makes you feel like a good citizen of the world, lol.
