Farmer's Marketing

Justin now has four classes left to complete his MBA. Four classes now stand between us and a cramming-for-the-next-exam-free lifestyle. We haven't both been out of school since we met, so it'll be quite a change for us both to be on similar schedules and both have an income (despite the fact that mine should really only count as half of an income)... But back to the four classes. One of these classes happens to be held over the course of three weekends this summer, which did not please me at all. Summer weekends are so precious! However, I devised a plan that while Justin is spending between 8-12 hours per weekend day learning business-y things, I am going to try to take advantage of the plethora of farmer's markets in Philadelphia. 

This weekend I checked out the Chestnut Hill Farmer's Market, which is about 20 minutes from where we live. It was small but packed with tons of beautiful fresh food and some not so beautiful (but I'm sure tasty) cuts of meat. There were stands of comfort food, sushi, baked goods, prepared Italian salads, Mexican fare, fresh flowers, and even a sign shop that sold one with the phrase "Gone to Therapy" that I was tempted to buy...  I took some photos while there that you can check out below. I had a hard time, however, due to trying balance a camera with bags of stuff I bought and the horrible fluorescent lighting. Oh well... I'll be more prepared on my next trip.
