To the Farmer’s Market We Go!

This morning Dave, Sara, Abdul and I went to the Oak Park Farmer’s Market.  It was very cool to see all the local produce that was brought in.  Dave, Sara and I walked to the market (about 1.5 miles away) while Abdul (who was being lazy) drove.  On the way, I was able to take these amazing pictures of flowers from our neighbor’s yard.

When we got there, Dave, Sara, and I each took a shot of wheatgrass.

It was quite possibly the best wheatgrass I’ve ever had.  It was super sweet and fresh, yummmmmmy!

I almost bought a flat of wheatgrass to take home but the lady said that the grass should be harvested ASAP and that you shouldn’t really try to regrow the grass as it won’t be as nutritious the second time around.

Sad that I wasn’t able to get the wheatgrass, we walked around some more and saw amazing looking veggies and homemade goodies.

Radishes

Homemade Salsa

Gorgeous Flowers

All in all, it was a glorious time!

On the way home, Dave and I took a detour to the Bleeding Heart Bakery and shared a vegan carrot cake cupcake!

Every bit as delicious and delectable as it looks!

Now, I need to nap after all that walking and food.  I feel like I’m 23 going on 50 :-P !
