Hey guys, apparently there are some troll bots posing as us and messaging people asking for money and information, and telling people they’ve won a prize. We will never message you and ask you for any of those things. Never give your information out to people contacting you through a comment section on email. These bots have me blocked where I cannot see them, please report! Thank you! -Jess
I see them on several channels I watch. I always report! I think if lots of people report, it might encourage RUclips/Google to do as much as they can to eliminate the trolls. I had no idea that the trolls block the channel owner from being able to see them! Thanks for telling us that! I know a couple of RUclipsrs that will want to know about that! Good health and happiness to you and your family!
Shouting out individual booths at this Farmers' Market was such a kind way to share the massive reach and influence that you have built over many years. May everyone prosper handsomely from their participation in this video.
Oh the farmers market…The last several years of my daddy’s life, he was very sick because of diabetes and all the complications that can arise because of it. We live in central NC, and we made many, many trips to UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill for appointments and hospital stays for Daddy. Since we had to come through Raleigh to get back home, whenever he felt good enough, we would stop at the state farmers market. I have so many memories of wheeling him around looking for produce. Daddy has been gone now for almost 23 years. Whenever I have visited the farmers market since then, it has always brought me so much peace. Maybe that is one of the main reasons I have a garden. I always tell others that it brings me closer to God, but I guess part of me feels Daddy there. ❤️ I love you and your family, Jess. Thank you for teaching this fifth grade teacher how to be a better gardener and steward of the earth.
I know exactly how you feel ! I named my garden " GUARDIANS GARDEN " because when I'm out there I think of all my family & friends above and plant their specialty teaching. Gardening is much more memorable to me than what I may harvest in foods. " MY TIME " with nature and memories. 💖
This is beautiful. Yesterday I was down in the garden and a hummingbird just kept hanging out right in front of me...my first thought...pop-pop is that you?? ❤❤❤
It was lovely to meet you at the market last Saturday. Shining a light on small businesses with the platform you’ve worked hard to create speaks to your character and love for others. I’m a realtor, I hustle everyday to make ends meet, and I’m grateful for the opportunity! May God bless you and your family.
Bless you, Jess, for featuring local small business owners at the market! This exposure is SO important! Love, another small business owner in SW Michigan. ❤️
Eating seasonally and locally has a benefit that I didn’t hear you mention. The produce tastes so much better and fresher than what you get in the stores. This sounds obvious to some of us but if you’ve never been to a market, you may not know this, especially tomatoes and fruit. We are blessed to have our markets year round. 🥰
Glad to see Asher wearing a sweatshirt on a 90 degree day! My son, 18yrs, and all his friends all do this, too! lol. I told him heat stroke is a personal choice! Hahahaha. I can't really talk since I remember wearing a short skirt, tank top and jean jacket everyday while waiting for the bus at 6:30am in high school during New England winters. Kids!🤣
I will never forget the first video I watched of yours where you said “make your waiting room your classroom.” And I’ve carried that deep within me ever since! It also gives you something to focus on when you “aren’t where you want to be.” But when you’re so focused on learning and growing, you don’t have time to be upset about what you don’t yet have! Love love love your videos, thank you for the time you spend investing and teaching people how to reconnect with their land!!
We are a very small farm just starting out and became a vendor at two local markets. The amount of support that you get from the other farmers and local community is absolutely amazing. We have learned so much in such a short time. We have also learned the impact of the power of community and the purpose behind it. Fantastic shoutout to the local farmers representing your community! We are just a small fish in a big pond hoping to one day create a tidal wave of supporting local.
That's looks like so much fun. You are such a child of God Jess and I love how you make everyone feel important and they just glow when you speak with them. You are an inspiration. And also someone I would love to hang with.
I love that Asher gives you a splash of teenager in some videos because it helps the world see you can be an insanely cool person and your teenager is still gonna teenager😆
Bless you for all you do. You’ve inspired me so much. Although we were surrounded by the fires here in Portugal thankfully our property was only mildly affected. We lost 1/2 our firewood and all the wooden posts on the upper back part of our property. I’m so very thankful the the house and gardens were spared. I only wish I could share some of my tomatoes and cucumbers with you and your family. Thanks for being you!
Eating seasonally is the key words! Other than what our "foremothers" preserved for the winter months, much of their diet was seasonal. Great video as always!
Where we lived in Connecticut there was no way my parents could grow enough tomatoes or cucumber or certain fruits to support her canning. They found farmers out in the county at some markets & the larger roadside stands. They just tried to be careful to avoid reseller vendors. I'm famous for living alone & coming home from the farmers market with 25 pounds of different varieties of tomatoes from 9 vendors😀
My tip for getting a bigger bang for your buck at farmers markets: Consider taking organ meats, bones, "oops" cuts, less popular parts. The bones and fish heads are exactly what you want for making broths. Sometimes producers are left with more organs than they can reasonably use. Mistakes happen, even with cutting meats. Some things just don't sell much, like beef cheeks or tuna collars. Being flexible and knowing what you can do with ALL parts of the animal can result in you having a lot of excellent nutritious food at a much lower cost.
YAY!!!!! Girl waiting for a video from you is like a little kid waiting on the curb waiting for the ice cream man 🤗🤗🤗🤗🍦🍦🍨🍧 Your videos are THE BEST ALWAYS! Hope you had a great weekend 😎
Sweet Jess, That was a nice market.....minus the snakes!! There were some nice looking items there. Our Farmers Market consists of 3 farms. Each are people who live several miles from us. We all look out for one another, and swope veggies, jam, recipes, ect.... When we first moved here 5 years ago, one of the farmers came over, and said if we ever need food just ask. Every one of us here makes sure to plant extra when we can to help out and feed the elderly, and people who are short on food.
Thank you for sharing these small local businesses on your platform. As a small business owner myself, this is so very much appreciated and so important. It means the world to us for people to share these. Thank you thank you. Support small and local businesses 💗💗💗💗
Another great option is to find a csa farm that you can buy a share from. A great way to learn how to use your seasonal produce in your area while getting your own garden going. Or if you can't do your own garden!
This is so surreal, that's my neighborhood! Aaaand I just had a birthday party last night with Black Lotus. They are sooo good!! Thank you for coming and highlighting some of our local vendors
I love love love how community focused you are - it is so refreshing that you go around supporting other small businesses in your locale, where other would be so quick to call them competitors and shut them out. Your heart is so good
Jess, thank you for putting a spotlight on good ol Augusta Georgia. The farmers market is a big deal in the CSRA, we absolutely adore the vibes! Thanks again!
Union County Farmers Market in Blairsville, Georgia is the best. We have a barn for local produce (bulk and by the quart) and local farmers, a barn for local crafts and hand made items, a dog station, a covered bridge, a creek, a historical homestead, and a canning plant! It should be the standard for all farm markets!
OMG I miss Augusta so much! That’s been my home forever until we moved to Tennessee 2 years ago. So much art and history in that area near the Farmers Market.
My son came home from New Orleans with a grown ball python from a family friend when he was 8. He had that snake for almost 20 years and loved every minute of it! What a fun market!!
If you can find them locally, Amish farmers have great prices! In my area, you have to go to their farm, but you can buy whatever portion you want for much cheaper than anywhere else (even the grocery store).
Thanks for taking us along. 9:30, I love that Pine Ridge Farm incorporated pine sprigs in their bouquets.13:00 My first experience at a Farmer's Market was just as you described. I paid $65 for ingredients to make 7 pints of Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce.
The following comment has very little to do with the Contant of the video I just watched today. I wanted to let you know, Jess, that I grew Cuca melons and ground cherries for the first time this year. I saw the delight in Jeremiah‘s eyes whenever he had a ground cherry on your videos and decided I needed to try them. The delight that you have in Cuca melons encouraged me to grow them, too. I have just had my first harvest of both and have to say I am hooked! Thank you so much for introducing me to two delightful things I can easily grow and enjoy. I love your channel so much for the wonderful, warm and sunny place it is to learn all I can. ❤️❤️❤️
Going to the farmers market is one of my favorite things to do. The people are so friendly and I have adopted a set of grandparents lol!! I believe next year I’ll ask to help them on their farm.
Love the milk room...Just an idea, what about having a small countertop washer that you can put on the shelf because it's small and portable...You can hang a clothesline over your counter like a swag to hang the towels dry... And my goodness is Wes a goodlookin man...
I love going to the farmers market. I was so glad you shard the link for the Tupperware booth. My 98 year old Aunt work 30 years in a Tupperware plant in New England area and I always like to support Tupperware. Already logged onto her site to replace a few of my favorite pieces and to see what is new. Thanks for sharing!
Love my local farmers markets, always spend wayyyy too much! lol They do the lemonades there too and one there is an old drug store across the street and they do the lemonade, limeade and orangeade....soooo good! Thanks for taking us along and kudos to Sweet Miah for the flowers, that was very sweet. :) Glad to see an appearance from Asher too! :)
One piece of advice for buying from local farmers is ask for seconds. They are usually half price and the produce is good. This is how to get a lot of canning food at a reduced price in season
I sure enjoyed your Family outing. My Husband is Disabled so getting around a Farmers Market with a Wheelchair is difficult. I sure miss it. I feel bad going with out him. We have a local Farmstand, they sell local and nearby States. And your right, he will sell me a case. It is definitely cheaper. I just felt like one of your Family today. You are such a beacon of Joy, and Thank you Miah for getting Jess Flowers, I just needed to see that. It made my day
THANK YOU for the tupperware link! Side note, yesterday was The Sps and my anniversary (2nd marriage both) and here in SOUTH DAKOTA, the north, we were blessed with our very first ripe peach. From our very own tree! I am telling everyone. It's very exciting. Here in SD, the farmers market is just a for a few months and boy it is precious!!
Amazing people all over your farmers market 😊 Such a nice day out with the family. Asher is getting so tall. Been a while since I’ve had teenage boy’s. They grow faster than the garden don’t they💕👍💗
Great video! I think CSA’s are also good ways to support local farmers and eat locally/seasonally and learn to cook what is in season. They soften sell eggs and meat and/or know resources for food meat.
Hey Jess, have you ever tried Malabar Spinach? It is a substitute for regular spinach during the summer. It is a vine and loves it hot and humid. It would do great for you since it gets HOT at your new farm. I live in the Western NC mountains and it is growing well here. Delicious! I eat most of my leafy veggies uncooked and it is awesome in salads. Might try it cooked with eggs and basil next. Thank you for all you do to share your abundant knowledge with all of us. I love your videos and signed up for your course with Jill. Need all the help I can get. I'll be 67 on the 28th of this month. It is not easy building raised beds on the side of a mountain but I am endeavoring to persevere! I appreciate your uplifting messages and encouragement. You are the bestest!!!
I LOVE those huge Tupperware bowls. I have two that size (bright pink and dark purple) and I have one half the size that is teal. The lids make fruit processing so much better when you are dealing with canning and avoiding fruit flies.
Dang! Next time swing by Boondock Farms Farmers Market on any given Saturdays, especially the second Saturday of the month for our vendor festival! We would LOVE TO show you around our little slice of heaven. Open Saturdays 10am-2pm
I worked for an orchid grower in central Florida and we had a booth set up next to a baked goods stand...this woman had brownie bites for like 1-2 bucks a PIECE....but i tell ya they were worth it ..it was called everything but the kitchen sink brownies and i can tell you adding dried cherries, walnuts dark choco milk choco and caramel chips is a game changer for brownies...it sounds like a bit much...but its not...Thats really my only farmers market memory that stands out anyway, cause it didn't work out for selling flowers..but Everything but the kitchen sink brownies will forever be with me..lol..God Bless Yall!!
I do love a good true Farmer's Market with a variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and sometimes seafoods, or meats as well as flowers, and crafts. Sad that in my community we have a "Farmer's Market" that is of the crafts, honey and herb variety but few if any vegetables or fruits. We live in the Mohave Desert where few farms exist. Gas prices make it hard for long distance farms to come.
I am so happy because I just found out the local farmers market by me accepts food stamps. I think it's amazing that even though you may be struggling with finances that you can still support local and eat fresh local food!
I vend at farmers markets twice a week in the summer and 2-3 times a week in the winter - there is so much at the market! Most markets in my area will not let vendors sell anything that they haven't grown, raised, themselves or soured locally. Here in southern NH/ME I don't think the prices are that bad! I agree that you should get to know your farmer- I meal plan at the market and I can tell you, I don't spend alot!
Im in NH too! Im trying to find other markets that I can find good prices, the only one Ive really been to is more of an artisan one (exeter) and although we love it, its good to know I need to be digging around for other markets too!
I know I’m late by 2 months but NC has 4 state run farmers markets. 1. Raleigh 2. Charlotte 3. Asheville and 4. Colfax this one is between Greensboro, High Point and Winston Salem. Colfax is mine. It has 6 indoor markets anything from meat, eggs(unfortunately they need to be washed), fruit, veggies, honey (my favorite is Sourwood honey), and cottage market (which is sauce, chow chow, canned pickles, hot sauce, etc). On the weekend during spring-fall farmers can rent a space outside sell whatever they want. One farmer brought a farm truck full of orange watermelons and sold out by the end of the day.
Girl Tupperware is the bomb diggity when processing food. I have two sets of the bowls plus some of their spatulas. I like the pickle deli too. I have pickled peppers in it now
Love your family ❤️ Thank you for being such an inspiration! I have 3 boys and my oldest son’s name is Asher too. 😊 He just turned 20, and I appreciate any time I get to spend with him. ❤️
IMO, there needs to be more cooking type videos with what to do with everything peeps grow. Scant few seem to do this. Like the Brown Butter tomatoes. I need to try that
Some great people. In the Tri-states, we have farmer's market in Keokuk, Iowa on Saturday. We have a farmers market here in Fort Madison on Monday. On Tuesday Montrose, Iowa has a giant farmer's market. I am not sure which town does Wednesday or Thursday but Burlington, Iowa has a great she shed in a corn field that is open all the time starting in June. Kahoka, Missouri and Hamilton, Ill have great farmers Markets too. Then most of the churches have "Yard" sales of fresh corn and tomatoes. Those profits go to those churches.
So much fun. Thanks for getting us a peek! This will be my future, I will watch out for fairs like this near my daughter's area in TX or even in FL at my parents.
Thank you so much for the info about ways to shop locally in a way that can be affordable still. I love my market that’s downtown twice a week, but I can’t afford to shop all my produce from there. I’ll start looking at more markets that are a further drive for more of those bulk purchases for canning. Love watching all you put out 😍 ❤️❤️ April from Modesto CA
I so wish we had a farmers market around me that had people that sold what they grew! None of ours do and we live in TN. Everyone buys bulk and has it shipped in. There are some people making homemade goods like soap, breads, etc. but nothing grown locally.
The first market I have ever gone to was in March of this year in Rochester, NY. We were meeting our brand new granddaughter. I loved it so much! We live in South Dakota 100 miles from a Walmart for reference. Then my second market was with our other daughter in the southern part of South Dakota! I wish we had one locally but I will have to go bigger myself! This year we have a new granddaughter and a new grandson so my plants stayed in pots! Whatever I get in produce will be a nice surprise!
In addition to the couple of farmer's markets in my area, A lot of home gardeners will set up a table with their abundance. When I was working I would stop on the way home and get the best produce.
Wow such a fun time seeing your Farmer's Market in your area! Just amazing! The Food booths are over half of what they are in my area! But we are blessed to have two local markets in our 2 close towns :) Thank you Jess for sharing with us the awesome vendors! You have such a kind heart!
We moved from the city 2 years ago and we have been loving our new life. We have a beautiful veggie/flower garden but we can't grow what we would need for the year. Luckily one of our neighbors has a fruit and veggie stand at the end of our road. We have formed a friendship and now I have been ordering what we need through her. I followed your advice last year about forming connections and networking with others to get what you need. Sometimes I may pay a little bit more buying through her but I would rather support her farm than the big grocery store.
Hey there , I love to see the goings around your area , I hope you will take us to the actual produce market too ,that is a place I will always love personally.. I love your video Jess... Thank you for sharing ..
Hello Jess and Miah Sowards and family that visit to the farmer's market looked fun. God Bless you and Miah and family from a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada
We learned that the bigger farms/ CSA would bring small baskets to market but you are able to order a bushel/ half bushel etc.. while there and they will pick it the day of bring it to the market ready to go for you. It’s awesome! Glad you had a great time at the farmers market.. I love going!
Love farmers markets and just went yesterday. Ours is small but great! Love getting lunch at the markets! But we also grow our own garden. We also butcher our own meat! Thanks for sharing
My husband and I have watched you guys for years. He's from El Salvador and he literally yelled when you showed the pupusas. He got so excited that you guys were trying food from his country
Great video Jess- I wish we had proper Farmers Markets here in our cities but we don't. So I will continue to grow my own. Yes I evidently I WON a Prize from you, but too smart for them as I knew it was a SCAM. Cheers Denise- Australia
I was looking on the Johnny's Seeds website today and looking at all the suggested fall seeds... Lettuce, spinach, chard etc. And thinking.... these seem more like a summer variety. Just me but I'd rather eat those lighter things during hotter days and my squash during colder days. God really has a crazy since of humor! ❤️ 💙 💜 💖
My small town Missouri has 2 farmers market on sat morn...a county n city market. We have 2 farms that set up small tents at different end of town that sell tomatoes, cucs..cantaloupe .watermelon..peaches..corn every day except sundays. Good delicious foods.
That's what I'm doing buying from farmers, and canning what I can. With our garden not doing the greatest. So this is what I'm doing right now. You just have to ask. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
We go to the Anderson flea market to buy from the farm venders there about once a month. Great prices on produce, plants and trees. Thanks for sharing.
I so enjoyed this!!! We have no Farmers market really to speak of. It's sad. As a child I remember going and there were all kinds if different booths and fresh veggies. Now all there is, are third party sellers. Not the first grower. It's sad because there is a giant space where the city has set aside, but no farmers...😪😪😪 I wish I knew how to find our local farmers that sell their products..... TFS .🥰🥰🥰✌✌✌🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Last weekend I scored a huge box of romas for $20...and yes I made several batches of salsa....this weekend was kraut and another batch of peach jam and jalapeno jelly...all things from the smaller farmers at a better quality and better price than the larger farms...

Just had a spam channel reply to a comment from the last video. They're using a fake R&R channel, FYI ruclips.net/channel/UCDKNf37M0kciqn0WG4idVBg

I had no idea this was a thing. Thanks for the PSA, I will keep an eye and report.

Beautiful memories, indeed. Thank you for sharing.
My dad taught me to garden. He's been gone so many years ago, but his teaching lives on. 🌻

Tupperware is an amazing value and works great - I still have some I purchased over 40 years ago, a bit worn, but will works great!
Farmers supporting farmers is one of the most beautiful things. Talk about spreading love and light. :)
Love my local farmers markets, always spend wayyyy too much! lol They do the lemonades there too and one there is an old drug store across the street and they do the lemonade, limeade and orangeade....soooo good! Thanks for taking us along and kudos to Sweet Miah for the flowers, that was very sweet. :) Glad to see an appearance from Asher too! :)
One piece of advice for buying from local farmers is ask for seconds. They are usually half price and the produce is good. This is how to get a lot of canning food at a reduced price in season
I sure enjoyed your Family outing. My Husband is Disabled so getting around a Farmers Market with a Wheelchair is difficult. I sure miss it. I feel bad going with out him. We have a local Farmstand, they sell local and nearby States. And your right, he will sell me a case. It is definitely cheaper. I just felt like one of your Family today. You are such a beacon of Joy, and Thank you Miah for getting Jess Flowers, I just needed to see that. It made my day
THANK YOU for the tupperware link! Side note, yesterday was The Sps and my anniversary (2nd marriage both) and here in SOUTH DAKOTA, the north, we were blessed with our very first ripe peach. From our very own tree! I am telling everyone. It's very exciting.
Here in SD, the farmers market is just a for a few months and boy it is precious!!
Love the family outing. Great tips on how to save money. Farmer's markets are one of the best things during the summer.
Amazing people all over your farmers market 😊 Such a nice day out with the family. Asher is getting so tall. Been a while since I’ve had teenage boy’s. They grow faster than the garden don’t they💕👍💗
I love you sharing all the local artisans and creators and farmers. Sharing the love and the influence you have for good. ❤️
Great video! I think CSA’s are also good ways to support local farmers and eat locally/seasonally and learn to cook what is in season. They soften sell eggs and meat and/or know resources for food meat.
Hey Jess, have you ever tried Malabar Spinach? It is a substitute for regular spinach during the summer. It is a vine and loves it hot and humid. It would do great for you since it gets HOT at your new farm. I live in the Western NC mountains and it is growing well here. Delicious! I eat most of my leafy veggies uncooked and it is awesome in salads. Might try it cooked with eggs and basil next.
Thank you for all you do to share your abundant knowledge with all of us. I love your videos and signed up for your course with Jill. Need all the help I can get. I'll be 67 on the 28th of this month. It is not easy building raised beds on the side of a mountain but I am endeavoring to persevere! I appreciate your uplifting messages and encouragement. You are the bestest!!!
Thanks for letting us tag along! Blessings on your day Kiddos! 🥰🌻🐛🌼
I LOVE those huge Tupperware bowls. I have two that size (bright pink and dark purple) and I have one half the size that is teal. The lids make fruit processing so much better when you are dealing with canning and avoiding fruit flies.
Dang! Next time swing by Boondock Farms Farmers Market on any given Saturdays, especially the second Saturday of the month for our vendor festival! We would LOVE TO show you around our little slice of heaven. Open Saturdays 10am-2pm
I worked for an orchid grower in central Florida and we had a booth set up next to a baked goods stand...this woman had brownie bites for like 1-2 bucks a PIECE....but i tell ya they were worth it ..it was called everything but the kitchen sink brownies and i can tell you adding dried cherries, walnuts dark choco milk choco and caramel chips is a game changer for brownies...it sounds like a bit much...but its not...Thats really my only farmers market memory that stands out anyway, cause it didn't work out for selling flowers..but Everything but the kitchen sink brownies will forever be with me..lol..God Bless Yall!!
I do love a good true Farmer's Market with a variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and sometimes seafoods, or meats as well as flowers, and crafts. Sad that in my community we have a "Farmer's Market" that is of the crafts, honey and herb variety but few if any vegetables or fruits. We live in the Mohave Desert where few farms exist. Gas prices make it hard for long distance farms to come.
I liked the polymer clay artist that looked really cool! You are awesome for supporting small businesses and getting them exposure
I am so happy because I just found out the local farmers market by me accepts food stamps. I think it's amazing that even though you may be struggling with finances that you can still support local and eat fresh local food!
I vend at farmers markets twice a week in the summer and 2-3 times a week in the winter - there is so much at the market! Most markets in my area will not let vendors sell anything that they haven't grown, raised, themselves or soured locally. Here in southern NH/ME I don't think the prices are that bad! I agree that you should get to know your farmer- I meal plan at the market and I can tell you, I don't spend alot!
Im in NH too! Im trying to find other markets that I can find good prices, the only one Ive really been to is more of an artisan one (exeter) and although we love it, its good to know I need to be digging around for other markets too!
I know I’m late by 2 months but NC has 4 state run farmers markets. 1. Raleigh 2. Charlotte 3. Asheville and 4. Colfax this one is between Greensboro, High Point and Winston Salem. Colfax is mine. It has 6 indoor markets anything from meat, eggs(unfortunately they need to be washed), fruit, veggies, honey (my favorite is Sourwood honey), and cottage market (which is sauce, chow chow, canned pickles, hot sauce, etc). On the weekend during spring-fall farmers can rent a space outside sell whatever they want. One farmer brought a farm truck full of orange watermelons and sold out by the end of the day.
Thanks for showing 'Raff' the puppy. We rarely get to see him and are missing his 'puppy' days.
Girl Tupperware is the bomb diggity when processing food. I have two sets of the bowls plus some of their spatulas. I like the pickle deli too. I have pickled peppers in it now
Love your family ❤️ Thank you for being such an inspiration! I have 3 boys and my oldest son’s name is Asher too. 😊 He just turned 20, and I appreciate any time I get to spend with him. ❤️
Since my summer garden has done so poorly I've been at the farmers market weekly and putting up everything I can from produce and fruits from there
IMO, there needs to be more cooking type videos with what to do with everything peeps grow. Scant few seem to do this. Like the Brown Butter tomatoes. I need to try that
So nice to get a glimpse of Asher. He is really getting tall
Some great people. In the Tri-states, we have farmer's market in Keokuk, Iowa on Saturday. We have a farmers market here in Fort Madison on Monday. On Tuesday Montrose, Iowa has a giant farmer's market. I am not sure which town does Wednesday or Thursday but Burlington, Iowa has a great she shed in a corn field that is open all the time starting in June. Kahoka, Missouri and Hamilton, Ill have great farmers Markets too. Then most of the churches have "Yard" sales of fresh corn and tomatoes. Those profits go to those churches.
So much fun. Thanks for getting us a peek! This will be my future, I will watch out for fairs like this near my daughter's area in TX or even in FL at my parents.
White is your color Jess! You look beautiful momma. What a fun day with the family! 😀
Thanks for sharing your wonderful outing at the market! I love how you introduce people to us all! Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Love Farmer Markets! Glad most the family got to go and enjoy it there.
Thank you so much for the info about ways to shop locally in a way that can be affordable still. I love my market that’s downtown twice a week, but I can’t afford to shop all my produce from there. I’ll start looking at more markets that are a further drive for more of those bulk purchases for canning. Love watching all you put out 😍
❤️❤️ April from Modesto CA
I so wish we had a farmers market around me that had people that sold what they grew! None of ours do and we live in TN. Everyone buys bulk and has it shipped in. There are some people making homemade goods like soap, breads, etc. but nothing grown locally.
The first market I have ever gone to was in March of this year in Rochester, NY. We were meeting our brand new granddaughter. I loved it so much! We live in South Dakota 100 miles from a Walmart for reference. Then my second market was with our other daughter in the southern part of South Dakota! I wish we had one locally but I will have to go bigger myself! This year we have a new granddaughter and a new grandson so my plants stayed in pots! Whatever I get in produce will be a nice surprise!
In addition to the couple of farmer's markets in my area, A lot of home gardeners will set up a table with their abundance. When I was working I would stop on the way home and get the best produce.
Wow such a fun time seeing your Farmer's Market in your area! Just amazing! The Food booths are over half of what they are in my area! But we are blessed to have two local markets in our 2 close towns :) Thank you Jess for sharing with us the awesome vendors! You have such a kind heart!
We moved from the city 2 years ago and we have been loving our new life. We have a beautiful veggie/flower garden but we can't grow what we would need for the year. Luckily one of our neighbors has a fruit and veggie stand at the end of our road. We have formed a friendship and now I have been ordering what we need through her. I followed your advice last year about forming connections and networking with others to get what you need. Sometimes I may pay a little bit more buying through her but I would rather support her farm than the big grocery store.
I’m originally from the Augusta area! Such a sweet and artsy town.
We have a great small town farmers market that is a blend of produce, handmade soaps, lotions, crafts, music and local food trucks. Grove, OK
charred shisitos and lemon aioli for dinner tonight. thanks for the inspiration!
My shisitos have way out performed all my other peppers...I agree...thanks jess for the inspiration.
What a great market. Loved seeing the Tupperware.
The Tupperware knife sharpener works really really good!
Hey there , I love to see the goings around your area , I hope you will take us to the actual produce market too ,that is a place I will always love personally.. I love your video Jess... Thank you for sharing ..
I just love you and your family! I bless you also.
Hello Jess and Miah Sowards and family that visit to the farmer's market looked fun. God Bless you and Miah and family from a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada
We learned that the bigger farms/ CSA would bring small baskets to market but you are able to order a bushel/ half bushel etc.. while there and they will pick it the day of bring it to the market ready to go for you. It’s awesome! Glad you had a great time at the farmers market.. I love going!
Love farmers markets and just went yesterday. Ours is small but great! Love getting lunch at the markets! But we also grow our own garden. We also butcher our own meat! Thanks for sharing
My husband and I have watched you guys for years. He's from El Salvador and he literally yelled when you showed the pupusas. He got so excited that you guys were trying food from his country
Thanks for taking us along. So much fun.
Farmers markets around me now are great! I never thought to ask if they sell by the bushel, thank you for the idea!
Thanks again - feeling blessed by your giving of your time to bless me with more information to seek in my area for farm connections.
I love pupusas! My favorite is the loroco which has squash blossom flowers in it for the filling.
Jess it was great to see you Guys out and about. x
Great video Jess- I wish we had proper Farmers Markets here in our cities but we don't. So I will continue to grow my own. Yes I evidently I WON a Prize from you, but too smart for them as I knew it was a SCAM. Cheers Denise- Australia
I love pet snakes too! I have 2. A ball python and a corn snake.
We go to the Amish vegetable auction. We love it. Fresh picked that day.
So good to build community ! TY Jess and fam!
Always enjoy your family & all info! Thank you.
I wish we had a good food cart our farmers market. #Pupusas Yum! That's so cool to get to know your local people
This is just wonderful thankyou for bringing us along.God Bless.
I was looking on the Johnny's Seeds website today and looking at all the suggested fall seeds...
Lettuce, spinach, chard etc. And thinking.... these seem more like a summer variety.
Just me but I'd rather eat those lighter things during hotter days and my squash during colder days.
God really has a crazy since of humor! ❤️ 💙 💜 💖
My small town Missouri has 2 farmers market on sat morn...a county n city market. We have 2 farms that set up small tents at different end of town that sell tomatoes, cucs..cantaloupe
.watermelon..peaches..corn every day except sundays. Good delicious foods.
That's what I'm doing buying from farmers, and canning what I can. With our garden not doing the greatest. So this is what I'm doing right now. You just have to ask. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
We go to the Anderson flea market to buy from the farm venders there about once a month. Great prices on produce, plants and trees. Thanks for sharing.
I so enjoyed this!!! We have no Farmers market really to speak of. It's sad. As a child I remember going and there were all kinds if different booths and fresh veggies. Now all there is, are third party sellers. Not the first grower. It's sad because there is a giant space where the city has set aside, but no farmers...😪😪😪 I wish I knew how to find our local farmers that sell their products..... TFS .🥰🥰🥰✌✌✌🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Last weekend I scored a huge box of romas for $20...and yes I made several batches of salsa....this weekend was kraut and another batch of peach jam and jalapeno jelly...all things from the smaller farmers at a better quality and better price than the larger farms...
Asher is such a sweet, polite guy ☺️
