It may be sunny outside, but it’s, well, not exactly harvest
season. So, I have always been a little
skeptical of what a Wisconsin WINTER FARMERS' MARKET would have to offer. Especially, as a nutritionist, my standards
and expectations were a tad high.
I was blown away by the winter farmers’ market at the
Domes. Not only did I find fresh,
seasonal produce (from cold storage or greenhouse, I believe), but there were
farm fresh eggs, organic and grass fed meats, mushrooms and even
sauerkraut!! All of my favorite local
and nutrient dense foods, as well as herbed butter, adaptogenic soaps, and
hydroponically grown micro greens. This
girl was in serious local foodie hippie heaven.
Even if none of the above is your cup of fair trade, organic
herbal tea, what could possibly beat enjoying a cup of coffee while taking a
stroll through the tropical dome in the middle of Wisco winter?! Also, not sure what to do with all of this
magnificent food? There are plenty of
great books in the gift shop to show you the way. The gift shop also has a table conveniently
located among all these fabulous farmers.
Be sure to stop by!
Do yourself a favor, and check out the winter farmers’ market at the Domes this Saturday (9am - 1pm). I know I’ll be there!
