Hello Everyone!Welcome to the Farmers' Market Challenge.
The purpose of this challenge is to raise awareness for purchasing locally produced foods. Be it fruits, vegetables, dairy products or related items we want to know what's available where you live.
This is for everyone. If you have a Farmers' Market in your area we would like to see your photos. If you don't have a farmers' market how about a roadside produce stand? Or maybe you grow your own vegetables? We want to see photos of your garden. Do you raise chickens or geese, do you use the eggs? We want to see your photos. The Challenge will be open all weekend so you have lots of time to post.
I have a little giveaway for everyone (worldwide) who links up a valid entry to the Farmers' Market Challenge. I am giving away a Sweet Onions market/shopping bag like the one in the photo above.This giveaway is only for participants in the challenge. The winner will be drawn from the Mister Linky list only (my challenge post link will of course not count). To be eligible your link must be to a valid Farmers' Market Challenge post.
Participants may now sign in. You should have you photos and/or story posted on your blog before you sign in. Please link directly to your farmers' market post. No linking up just to advertise your blog, those links and spam links will be removed immediately.
Please take a few minutes to visit the other entries. Also please check back later to visit late entries. Part of the fun is seeing each others posts.
Mr. Linky is very easy to use, just follow the instructions. If you have any questions or problems my email address is on my profile.

That's a neat idea for a meme, Judy... Hope you get lots of participation!!!! You know that I don't do MEMES---but I enjoy reading them....
Good Luck..
Hugs,
Betsy
I wish oh wish we had a farmer's market nearby.
Hi Squirrel Queen: We have an amazing farmers' market near the village square on Saturday mornings. Rain or shine I try to be there when they open at 8 a.m.. We also belong to a community based co-op. The local produce is wonderful all summer. As fall approaches, I freeze as much as possible for our winter meals. Later, I'm going to try and figure out "Mr. Linky" because I'd love to participate.
Best,
Bonnie
I looked high and low, but no farmers market in FLorida this time of year, our farmers market is from Sept through March. i could have driven way way way out east and found a roadside stand, but way way way to hot to do that. i will watch watch watch this meme today and enjoy all the produce.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's posts and participating again this year Judy. 'fingers crossed' to win that cool bag! My post is up and linked! Thanks for doing this and promoting locally grown! ~Jeanne
I'm in, thanks Judy.
I just put mine in, too, Judy! Thanks for doing this again.
We're lucky to have farmers' markets, roadside stands, and several small farms nearby. I also grow some of my own herbs and vegetables. I got a late start on the vegetables this year, so have had only a minimal harvest.
I love the purpose behind this meme and feel this is an important issue.
I LOVE farmers markets! So excited to link up!
Shopping in farmers markets is one of my favorite things!
