Millville farmers market

Millville is a small town just west of us.  It has a fire department, a town hall, a little Methodist church and on Thursdays in the summer a local farmer's market.  The produce is fresh and very inexpensive.  One buys from the farmer, getting tips on how to prepare and eat what s/he is selling.  Today's tip was from a young woman who suggested we try eating her fresh sweet corn, uncooked.  "Come back next week and tell me how you like it!"  We will.



Besides fruits and vegetables, vendors come with baked goods.  We bought a half loaf of seeded wheat bread, planning on having a lettuce, tomato and mayo sandwich for lunch.  Not to forget our favorite peaches from Bennett's orchards.
On the way back to our car, one of the church ladies was under a tent selling   cookbooks.  She offered us some peanut brittle she had just made. Crunch.....yum!
(BTW, the purple veggie in the picture is a pepper.)
