I took my 14-month-old to an indoor farmer’s market today. I’ve been taking him since he was a newborn. For me, it was nice to get out and chat with the vendors. It’s nice to become friendly with them because then they’ll recommend what’s in season. But I especially love that they get to watch your baby grow. My baby gets super excited to see everyone. It makes me feel like we really do live in an urban village.

I love taking my baby to the farmer’s market! She’s only 7 weeks old, so I just strap her in a front carrier and walk around tasting and buying produce. It makes me feel alive again. Sure, I have to make a trip back to the car after every time I buy something, but I need the exercise anyway
Here we are at our first farmer’s market, when she’ just 3 days old! (Don’t worry, I’m not crazy, there was just a farmer’s market in the hospital parking lot –gotta love Kaiser!)

On my last trip to the Farmer’s Market in Beverly Hills, as I was loading my fresh produce and kids, eating their sun-kissed apricots, into the minivan we were almost hijacked by an obese white woman wearing John Lennon glasses and Pippi Longstocking braids who kept muttering, “I need a ride into Hollywood, can you give me a ride into Hollywood, because my friend has a flat tire and couldn’t pick me up, it’s not far to Hollywood,” all while looking over my shoulder with madman eyes and trying to get a leg through our sliding door. We tore rubber outa there leaving nothing behind, but a lone banana peel and six ruby grapes.

I take my kids to our local farmer’s market almost every week, and on each trip I let them pick a new fruit or vegetable to buy and try at home in a dish we’ll make together, encourage the older ones to ask the farmers questions about the produce they see and where they come from, and teach them the importance of eating whole foods and buying them locally. They love seeing all of the different colors of the fruits and vegetables, sampling the different produce and getting one of their favorite treats that they smell as soon as we get to the farmer’s market- kettle corn!

we carry the babe on our back when we go to the farmers market- he likes to grab the cukes and carrots and some farmers have gotten to know him well enough now that they hand him the food not us! it is a big hit which all started back when i was knocked up and reading this blog!
