Finger Lakes Mini-Vacation- Final Post

Ithaca Farmer's Market on a beautiful, cool Spring day.

Mushrooms growing!



Delicate Spring blooms.



Before my felting blog threatens to become a travel blog...

...I'll end with our visit to the wonderful Ithaca Farmer's Market.

This market is a cooperative with 150 vendors who live within 30 miles of Ithaca, New York...

...and we found many wonderful things there to buy (or desire!). :)

Being that we were traveling and without cooking facilities...

...we had to pass on the gorgeous fressssh eggs, mushrooms and flowers. :(

I did buy some lovely jam, honey, apples, parsnips and cheese, though...

...and drank the best cup of hot cider I've had in years!

People who live close to a thriving market like this are lucky...

...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this locavore movement keeps growing and soon spreads to my neck of the woods!!
