Going to the Franklin Farmer's Market is a treat we enjoy at least once a month. Franklin is far enough away from Ashland City to make it seem like a mini-vacation.
This week's market was nearly double in size from several weeks ago!
Some highlights: meeting a couple (about our age) who operate a personal chef/detox business in Cool Springs to assist people with detoxing and eating healthier. We plan to set up an appointment when we figure out our vacation plans.
Meeting the good folks of Peaceful Pastures, a new vendor. They offer organic beef, chicken, lamb, duck, pork, and goose, and have a CSA program.
Purchasing some yummy pattypan squash from Eaton's Creek Organics and making it into Creole Squash using their recipe. Basically, cut up the squash, boil it w. onion and bay leaf, drain and mash, add brown rice, Tabasco, and can of tomatoes (although all I had was tomato sauce and it worked fine) and some parsley or other fresh herbs.
Purchasing a ginormous bunch of kale and having my mother cook it--she's much better at it than I am.
Buying my mother some fantastic looking green beans that she had been wanting.
And finally...purchasing some gorgeous soaps from a new vendor whose name I unfortunately can't remember....here they are, in a beautiful gauze bag! I am so crazy about the color combo I almost don't want to use them. But I will!
