Every Saturday, from October to May, the Farmers Market in Missoula, MT is the place to be. You can find a wide variety of fresh, colorful produce grown by local farmers, many from the large Asian community in Missoula. This delicious organic produce is just as good as anything you’ll purchase in your neighborhood supermarket, yet this produce supports local small businesses and gives you the satisfaction and feeling of community that results from a trip to the Farmers Market.
This local farmer, a man named Jerry, grows a type of green beans that you wouldn’t normally see in a grocery store. With their just harvested taste, all you have to do is slice on the diagonal, add a drizzle of olive oil and a few spices, and stir-fry. What an easy, fresh, delicious meal!
The Missoula Farmer’s Market also provided props to be used in Ciao Interiors’ upcoming September Parade of Homes house. This is the house that we have featured several times over the summer, detailing its construction and use of local materials. Natural props are a wonderful touch that give an organic, lived in quality to the home. The dried poppies and stalks of wheat will make a fabulous centerpiece for the dining table, and the various vegetables will look great displayed in the kitchen.
If you are ever in the Missoula, MT area, be sure to check out the Missoula Farmers Market. However, if your travels don’t bring you to the area, there is sure to be a farmers market in your own town with a stunning array of home grown vegetables from local farmers.
