As I sit in the sun listening to the kids collect ingredients for a magic potion, I eat the beautiful bircher muesli with gorgeous jersey milk and yogurt we purchased from the farmers market. (check out this website http://www.overthemoonmilk.com.au) There is a big smile on my face!
Dave and I went to the Farmers Markets in Broadmeadow yesterday, I think Dave summed up the morning together he leaned over and whispered in my ear "I feel alive with you today". It was running through the heavy rain with gumboots on, the smell of organic produce and buying direct from the farmers which both made us feel so alive.

It was so wonderful to go to market and buy fresh produce direct from the grower or producer, the bok chuy was firm and full of life. As opposed the vegetable bought from woolies or coles.. which are usually frozen, limp and bruised. The experience of walking into a westfield or a supermarket is one I dread... the impatience of shoppers with their trolleys and cars.. the impersonal nature of walking up and down the isle looking the plastic wrapped products which made from local and imported ingredients...
We are a market family, the kids armed with $10 each and a list of fruit for the week with a back pack and ready to talk with the grower or farmer.
