Goochland Farmers Market.

Saturday we went to the Goochland Farmers Market ...

They had many fun things for the kids to do and lots of good homegrown things to bring home with us.


My favorite ... sunflowers!


Griffin checks out the produce in one of our favorite stands.


Picking just the right squash and zucchini for our stir fry ...


Snuggling up with a furry friend. If Mike was not severely allergic to cats ... this little guy may have found his way home with us.


This one sunflower brings loads of sunshine to my kitchen ...


A little girl made these adorable Bug Catchers ... we thought this was a great way to catch fireflies and bring them inside for a little while.


And a little homegrown goodness. I can't wait to bake the garlic in olive oil, mix it with some butter and then serve on some sour dough bread. That's a Paula Deen recipe by the way.

I love going to the Farmer's Market ... we're definately going back soon.

  1. I would have loved to have gone with you. Looks like a fun place to go. I just knew you were going to buy a sunflower, it's so you. The zucchini and squash looked fantastic. I can't find any that look good around here.

  4. damn I remember catching fire flies when I was a kid, that was back in 1940-44 in Indiana----we use any glass jar with a lid, which we punched holes in so the bugs could breath.

  7. I love your sunflower! I always think of you when I see pretty sunflowers Missy. I also like the great vase you have it displayed in.

    The farmers market looks like a good one. The colors of the produce are wonderful.

    The look on Griffin's face as he hold that little kitten is priceless!!!
