Even though it was gray and gloomy outside, I managed to drag my dad and sister to the Franklin Farmers' Market on Saturday morning. Since Charleston's market is closed until April, I had been going through serious withdrawals and needed my fix of local produce, healthy baked goods, and hippie farmers. Everything about the Farmers' Market makes me so happy, I swear I could just walk around in circles for hours (and I might have tried, but Isabel didn't share the same sentiment). Instead we went to Ivey Cake downtown and ate incredible banana-walnut cupcakes. I didn't complain.

How wonderful. I too crave fresh and local produce with a dash of colorful hippies in the dreary winter months. Hope that you have a fabulous day!
This made me excited for the Charleston market to open!
Farmers markets are the greatest!
I will have to check out Ivey Cake next time we are in Charleston.
i also love farmers markets (and hippies :) and i am lucky enough to live in a warm state where we get to have them all year round :) i am so looking forward to beautiful weather this sunday and going to the market with my daughter. ours has live music and a beer/wine tent.
I love a good farmer's market! I wish we had some closer to where I live in Boston! And the weather looks like it was lovely!
When I was away at college, we had the best farmer's market! Now that I like in a "city" I never get to visit a fresh produce market. Glad you enjoyed the day and that you found a happy balance for everyone!
