  My purchases from the Salem, VA Farmers' Market Saturday, July 31, 2010

  
  My youngest and I went by the Salem Farmers’ Market this afternoon and bought a bunch of stuff. We bought tomatoes from one vendor, cabbage, corn, and peaches from another, cucumbers, green peppers, and jalapeños from another one, and potatoes and green beans from a fourth vendor. We bought a Family 5 Pack of beef from Sparks Family Farms.

  The 5 pack included a 3.12lb chuck roast, 1.48lbs ground beef, 1.27lbs stew beef, 4 ground beef patties, and 2 ribeyes that weighed a total of 1.25lbs. We bought soap from Mountain Scape Soap Company, and last, but certainly not least, we bought a cherry pie from another vendor.

  After we finished at the farmers market, we ventured a couple of blocks east and bought hot dogs at the Ol Mule Hot Dog Company.

  Option A box

  We only received 1 Sausser Farms vegetable box from Homestead Creamery this week. It included a tomato that was already rotten on the bottom, another tomato that’s mushy, 1 zucchini that’s mushy at the top, several very hard squash, and some withered purple basil.

  We signed up to buy one 5lb Option A box and one 5lb Option B box each week.

  Option A is supposed to be a combination of potatoes, tomatoes, onions, squash, and herbs.

  Option B is supposed to be a combination of cucumbers, egg plant, greens, string/pole beans, broccoli, and zucchini.

  We received 2 vegetable boxes from Homestead Creamery, but they only charged us for one, because the quality and selection of vegetables they received from Sausser Farms weren’t all that great.
