A Birthday and the best time of year

Before I get into Farmer's Market talk, I'd like to take a moment to wish Ann Marie, one of Soul Body's founders, a very Happy Birthday. I hope you are celebrating and finding time to relax ...you deserve it. So much has been accomplished this year and I can't wait to see what this upcoming year has in store within the Soul Body Community.

I love this time of year for many reasons...Sunshine, summer vacations, the beach, wine festivals, outdoor events and FARMERS' MARKETS. I hope that you all have taken advantage of the markets that take place through the Baltimore area each week. This is the perfect time of year to support local farmers and stock up on fruits, vegetables, herbs, cheeses and much more. Family farms need YOUR support plus when you buy local it is fresh and reflects the truest flavors. At the farmers market you find an amazing array of produce that you don’t see in your average supermarket.

I also definitely recommended hitting up Charm City Meadworks if you head out to the Fells Point Farmers' Market. If you like wine, you'll love mead. It's similar to wine, but with honey instead of grapes. You can read more about them on their website and learn about how it's made. Did I mention that you can hit up BeachFit at 10am for SB Body Barre and then head over to the farmer's market afterwards?!?! It's just a short walk from the Beachfit Studio and will be well worth it, I promise.

 

I stumbled across this awesome chart that you print out so that you can mark down which local market works with your schedule.

 

 



 

These charts will let you know what's in season so you can plan your meals ahead of time.

 









 

I encourage all of you to take advantage of this time of year. The farmers market is a place to meet up with your friends, bring your children, and get a taste of our wonderful city.

 

 

What do you love most about your local Farmers' Markets?

 

 

Have a great week!!
