home grown…for the masses

garden to table

we love our southern beauty, but there’s beauty everywhere .  kristen recently spent time in her homeland;  wisconsin.  so here’s a week of posts of beauty elsewhere.

every couple of years we make our way back to wisconsin for a quick visit.  this year we were there in the early beginnings of their fall….before the snow.  i am sharing some details of our visit.

the madison farmers market is a fond memory from my childhood.  i have vivid recollections of the people, textures, colors, tastes, and smells from my days spent there.  it is always fun to return and see it today, just as i remembered it.

the market takes place on saturdays and it surrounds the “capital square” with hundreds of booths.  it is the largest vendor only farmers market in the country.  farmers from all over the state come every week to sell their home grown goods including:  flowers, fruits, veggies, hand spun yarns, eggs, farm raised meats, preserves, and of course freshly made cheeses.
