The best part about traveling (even if it is domestic) is discovering what that region has to offer. This past weekend I was in Matthews, NC and found the cutest farmer's market ever. It was so community driven - they had cooking classes (how to cook with what's currently available), music, tastings, and a pepper roasting machine (free to use).
I, of course, was there to purchase flowers and hot peppers. Mamaw's Shine Flower Patch was beyond adorable - the lady had flower buckets filled with lisianthus (primarily purple) and a whole bunch of wild flowers. To my surprise everything was sold by stem so I got to collect exactly the flowers I needed and my bouquet of 30 stems came out to a mere$18 - boy do I love farmer's markets. Here are a few photos of the bouquet I arranged in my hotel room :)
If you're ever in Matthews or Charlotte, NC I strongly suggest you check this place out. They have amazing baked goods and fresh locally grown produce. To check out their website click here.
