This salsa is amazing!
The man who makes it is from Chile. He said in his home country, they use salsa as a condiment. It's on the table for every meal and they use it on everything from bread to meat. He told me his favorite way to use it is to sprinkle lemon juice over large, cooked shrimp and let it marinate in the refrigerator for an hour. Then sprinkle on some of the salsa and serve. Can't wait to try it!
Our next purchases were this necklace and bracelet.
They were made by women in Ghana who have lost their husbands. It's a way that they can support themselves and their children. The jewelry is made from scraps of paper, rolled onto a needle and then painted with varnish. My daughter bought the bracelet and I bought the necklace.
One item that I always buy each time I go to the Farmer's Market is ground beef.
This ground beef is hormone and antibiotic free. I can get organic beef at the grocery store but it's very expensive. The stand at the market is reasonably priced. They also sell chicken, eggs, brats, steaks, pork chops and lots of other varieties of meat.
No visit to the market would be complete without the purchase of some pickles.
There is a little market stand that sells pickles and olives. My daughter's favorite is the southwest flavor. We bring them home and cut them into slices. They never last very long!
Our final purchase was cheese curds.
They are made from fresh Wisconsin cheese. They are so yummy!!!
"There is a growing market today for local, organic foods produced by small farmers. And farmers' markets have played a large role in making that happen." -Eric Schlosser
