Oh goodness, have we found something that makes us happy! About 2 months ago, our family joined a Farmer’s Market co-op in the area – and it has been amazing! (Truth be told, we actually split with donald’s parents at times because we can’t eat everything!). With the co-op you’re able to get amazing deals on produce, because you buy by the case – something that is doable when 12 families are pitching in!
It was our family’s turn to shop this past week – and donald’s parents watched abi for us in the AM – enabling donald & I to have an early morning date! Delight. What a treat to rise at 5:00 AM…hit up starbucks…and meet some farmers at the farmer’s market! I was both giddy and intimidated! When we arrived at the FM – I didn’t quite know what to expect – you see Abi and I used to go all the time before we joined the co-op – but that was a TOTALLY different experience than what we experienced at 5:45! It was awesome talking to the farmers (they’re there at 3 in the morning!) – getting phenomenal deals (we are totally robbed at the grocery stores) – and really enjoying a totally new experience!
Upon arriving…
And upon departure…
All our goodies when we got home, unloaded and ready to sort for the other families to come and pick-up!

Beautiful. This picture just makes me happy. Thankfulness!

Okay, I hope you don't think this weird, but I worked with Donald & Pine Cove and I think I found your blog a long time ago from a friend's blog. You know how that blog stalking works - you're bored so you start clicking on links!
Anyways - we live in east Dallas and I'm dying to know what farmers market co-op you're a part of. I've looked into CSA farms before and have heard good things about Urban Acres - but I didn't know the Farmer's Market downtown had a co-op. Could you just shoot me an email (lstiller@gmail.com) with a website or contact info or something? I'm totally interested in joining one of these!
