…perrysburg farmer’s market
So today Leah, Ryanne and I went to the Perrysburg Farmer’s Market for the first time. Let me tell ya’, it was awesome.
Ryanne and I have lived in Perrysburg now for two years, and this was the first time we have ever set foot in downtown Perrysburg. Yes, it was extremely hot, but it was a lot of fun.
There was probably somewhere between twenty to twenty-five vendors, so not huge or anything… but still a good selection. Mostly people were selling vegetables and fruits, although there were a few other specialty stands thrown in (crafts, flowers, bread, local beef and lamb). The atmosphere was great, lots of people having a good time together. The farmers, or people selling the goods were all extremely friendly, and for the most part the prices were reasonable.
In the end, Ryanne and I bought: three ears of corn, two pounds of sunburst cherry tomato’s, a quart of peaches, a quart of sun gold apples, and a quart of fresh strawberry jam, all for nineteen dollars. We didn’t really do a whole lot of shopping for best prices either, I’m sure we could have spent less if we would have comparatively shopped.
And the results? We have tried everything we purchased now. And here’s the rundown:
Best peaches we’ve ever tasted.
Best cherry tomato’s we’ve ever tasted.
Strawberry jam is ridiculously good.
Corn is extremely good, close to the best I’ve had.
Apples, while not the best, are also extraordinary.
In the end, I cannot possibly say enough about the Perrysburg Farmer’s Market. If you have the opportunity to go, I cannot stress enough how much you should. It’s every Thursday through October, from 3:00pm till 8:00pm, right down Louisiana Avenue in downtown Perrysburg.
