    Oh Bev! I want to go to the farmers market with you! lol Sadly our local market has gotten smaller and smaller over the past few years. I have to travel 50 miles to one that size here. Thanks so much for "taking" us along!

    Thanks Noreen! I am going to save a few of the biggest bulbs and pant them in my strawberry bed ( they are spreading..but I still have room) AFTER i dig up the potatoes! The vendour told me to plant them in Oct! So the timing is perfect...dig potatoes for Thanks giving weekend ( Oct 14th here) and plant the garlic while the soil it turned!

    I LOVE the alpaca wool, we brought some of their products into the store last year and I bought my daughter a pair of socks, we kept them in her skating bag and designated them her official skating socks. They were so warm and don't make her feet sweat, worth every penny (and of course they are local) love, love, love them!!

  • @OurHalfAcreHomestead
    @OurHalfAcreHomestead  11 років тому

    Well I got my garlic and am saving some for planting..so that is worth the trip..so grateful I have a garden though!

  • @OurHalfAcreHomestead

    Wow looks like a fun day out. I love going to farmers markets and swap meets. Lets face it Bev I love to shop! TY for sharing your adventure with us. Oh and Cha has been working pretty steady and bought his first car yesterday.

  • @noreenskitchenchannel
    @noreenskitchenchannel 11 років тому

    So wonderful! As for the garlic, no need to justify because the amount of garlic in pounds that those two bulbs you are saving to plant, will render will far exceed the two pounds that you purchased! You will most likely end up with 20 pounds of garlic, That in and of itself, is an estimated savings of $180! Consider it the cost of doing business!

  • @dt65262
    @dt65262 11 років тому

    We live in a small town but have two farmers markets! I love to shop there when I can, one is on Wednesday and the other on Saturday so if I miss one day I can go the other :) the vendors like it as well they can usually be at both and make twice as much. The locations are different and some people will shop downtown on Saturday and the others will shop the other side of town on Wednesday. I miss them in the winter. Thanks for sharing!

    This is wonderful and your sincere charisma really shows to the people here. I was very surprised at the 50 cents for zucchini in Canada! Also, for some reason I thought you were out in northern Alberta, not Quebec. I love the energy of Quebec after having lived in Montreal last summer.

    I have just e-mailed an organic farm not to far from there..they have a store..and a food share program in season that people buy shares in for weekly fresh in season produce..I am hoping they will allow me to film a little segment on them. keep your fingers crossed.

    Love to visit Farmers Mkts. The atmosphere at Farmers Markets seems so natural it just allows you to escape for a few hours from the reality of the world in which we live, which is a sad state of affairs. They give me a sense of getting back to the basics, the way God truly intended life to be.

  • @1andonlylynda
    @1andonlylynda 11 років тому

    going to the kitchener market area. might not make the market but will sure look for roadside stands. Nothing has grown well north of superior this year so have to go further afield.

    now..the corn would have to be left to grow until the kernels are big and starchy...then dried.

  • @gopackgo2235

    Tip. If haven't consumed it all yet. Save the 2 largest cloves from multiple bulbs. You will yield larger heads next year.

  • @ronilanier1067
    @ronilanier1067 11 років тому

    I went to the farmer's market in Anchorage Alaska yesterday. A zucchini the size of the one you bought was $5.00. I ended up driving an hour to a u-pick farm where I purchased them for $1.00 a pound. I miss living in farm rich areas where $5.00 could purchase a whole bag of veggies.

  • @OurHalfAcreHomestead
    @OurHalfAcreHomestead  11 років тому

    I hope this is not in the USA? Here everyone knows who to buy from and who not..there are some folks who set up along the highway..some permanent..some out of a truck..but the two I know here along the highway..kjust go to the big city market and buy their stuff and REsell it along the road..that is why the Wakefield market is growing..before renting you a booth the local commity reserves the right to check out the facilities where you make or produce what you are going to sell!

  • @freakygeaktwo
    @freakygeaktwo 11 років тому

    could you not save one corn cob curnels to plant as well as the garlic ? this is the second farmers market I've seen on youtube but darn I can't recall the first one. Thanks for sharing :)

    @faukerconsulting835 2 роки тому

    🤔How would you recommend barter directly with farmers??🤔
    ☝🏻Our grocery store stocks items I am sure they throw out daily...beets(I have my eye on), turnips, endive, various squash, leeks...usually they bag stuff like fruit and peppers about the size of an 8lb bag of ice, and I would certainly enjoy making use of the veggies👍🏻

    I love the markets but never seem to get deals. Doesn't stop me from buying local and different stuff though.

  • @blossomsoot
    @blossomsoot 11 років тому

    I would definitely go to this market. At mine, that zuch you bought for 50 cents would have been like AT LEAST 2 dollars. They charge the vendors here something like 35% of their profits plus booth rental, so they have no choice but to raise prices. I think the city "powers that be" here are just nuts :(

  • @davidyoungg
    @davidyoungg 11 років тому

    Yes we have them but 99% of the stuff sold is the same stuff from the store cause they go over to the whole sell building to get the stuff... We have to comply with health department have a biz lic sell plants you have to have a state nursery inspection... Like our local one you have to have a ag lic to sell at it and in order to get one you have to have your land re zoned all the fee's to do it legal here is around 3-5k thats if your growing and making everything yourself...

    I have a farmers market near me and the variety is poor and the folks are not as friendly. I mapquested wakefield and I am 12+ hours from there by car. Guess to long to travel for a farmers market :(

  • @dahliasmama77

    Did the vegetable vendors label the veggies "non-gmo" and "organic"? Just wondering how much awareness is there with the locals.

  • @blossomsoot
    @blossomsoot 11 років тому

    We have the same problem here :( Our market has basically turned into a high-end grocery store. Nobody can afford it.

  • @davidyoungg
    @davidyoungg 11 років тому

    part 2,,, Most of the state and local gov ran farmers market wont let you in with out having your certs thats the 3-5k I'm talking about you cant sell prepackaged foods at most and 90% at the markets are wholesale buyers they don't grow any of the stuff them self... So I sell at the farmers market and if I ever get caught I face jail or fines... I know many people in other states that has the same issue...
