Weekend at the Farmer's Market

Babies need to be introduced and exposed to many different objects, shapes, textures, patterns [the list goes on and on]. As parents we need to enrich their sensory experiences and what better place to do that than the Farmer's Market?




We try to go to the Farmer's Market almost every Sunday we are in town in the summer. It's the perfect family weekend outing. I strap baby E in his Bjorn and let him soak in all the different voices, colors and smells.

The Farmer's Market is filled with fresh fruits and vegetables grown by local farmers. For as low as $5 you can pick up some of the most beautiful flower arrangements. Your baby will love listening to the local musicians and watch the balloon animal artists that you can sometimes find amongst the farmers. And for a special treat, take your baby on a complimentary ride in the horse drawn wagon.



Not only is this a great experience for your little one, but you are able to support local farmers and pick up some delicious treats for your weekly meals.
