Farmers Market Carbondale Style

Yay for HIPPIES!!!  I have anxiously been waiting for the farmer's market to open here in Carbondale, and it finally did!  It was delightfully exactly what I was hoping for and it sparked a renewed interest in living the hippie lifestyle :-)  They had all sorts of fresh veggies and beautiful flower plants, it was so hard not to buy it all for the house.  They also had a nice array of local artisans - jewelry, furniture, soaps, and other crafts.  I do believe that the farmer's market is going to be a Saturday morning requirement all summer.





Holy Moly Macaroni!  That is a sweet potato!  Chris was super pumped of course.


VEGGIES!  Hopefully our home made veggies from the garden turn out this well.






Homemade soaps, bug sprays, lotions, and more! 
The main ingredient for most of it was coconut oil - which has an insane amount of health benefits.  If you haven't done so already I would suggest getting some from the store and start using it to cook with instead of olive oil or butter.  It flavors the food a tad differently but your body will love you for it.  Chris and I have turned into coconut lovers.  We also supplement our diet with pure coconut milk (found in the asian food section in a can), mix it in scrambled eggs, put it in coffee, or add it to your shake.  


Cool furniture


Alright, if we made it to the farmer's market I challenge everyone else to go to their local one tomorrow!  If not for some fresh veggies or flowers, at least it is a good reason to get up and start your Saturday right with a fun and different activity!  Enjoy <3
