What does $20 buy at the farmers market?Posted Aug 13th 2007 12:11PM by Marisa McClellanFiled under: Frugal Food, Vegetables, On the BlogsLast week, Kim O'Donnel, the blogger over at the Washington Post's food blog A Mighty Appetite asked the question, "How far does $20 go at the farm market?" Farmers market shoppers from all over her area answered the call, and the comments on that post have gotten pretty interesting, not only including lists of what people bought but also what they planned to do with it. I made a stop at my favorite Philly area farmers market today, and attempted to stay within a $20 budget so see what I could get (I confess, I went $2 over). The list of what I bought is after the jump. If you are a farmers market shopper, what can you get in your area for $20? 1 very large cantaloupe 2 green peppers 4 ears of corn 1 quart of white nectarines1 large eggplant1 giant zucchini (not pictured)a 6 ounce bag of baby arugulaa bunch of purple basil4 patty pan squashes3 tomatoes (not pictured)
