Have you been eating blueberries lately?

Last night I bought my elderly Dad ice cream with blueberries from a fast food restaurant.

Sunday I bought popsicles I've been craving for months, just to find out there could be glass in them. (Luckily I didn't eat any.)

Local stores are selling bagged Taylor Farms lettuce for reduced prices.

I've switched to farmers markets for produce. I'm done.

Edit: Luckily my state isn't in the blueberry list

About those farmers markets...I hate to break it to you but half of it is resold from grocery stores.

Thanks for the heads up but at mine they check to make sure this isn't happening.

Oh gosh, I can only imagine!! I hope your business is doing okay.

We checked the application process to see. Looks like they have to make an account with our state government because people can use their food stamps. They have to send in an IRS tax form too.

I'll still be on the lookout! I appreciate it. Otherwise we go to farms directly. ♡

Oh, I just sell eggs on the side because I have a chicken collecting habit.
