Kraft Foods White Paper on Consumer Passion for Food at Retail includes Farmers Markets. The obvious is that people shop Farmers Market's for Fruit & Vegetables with addition of bread. It is interesting to read that chicken represents 11%, salad greens 10%, tomatoes 6%, of total grocery sales. We've got it all! Lots of good information!

Working on Seder, Passover & Easter Posting
Hi hi! Come back as I'm editing the posting and including a price comparaison for today!!!
No Egg's Hidden at this Farmer's Market!
Did you know that Eggs are a protein that provides strength, power and energy?
Sustained Energy
- Eggs provide steady and sustained energy because they do not cause a surge in blood sugrar or insulin level
- Eggs are a nutrient-rich source of high-quality protein and provide several B vitamins required for the production of energy in the body, such as thiamin, riboflavin, folate, B12 and B6.
Muscle Strength
- Eggs provide six grams of high-quality protein (13% of the daily value) which can help individuals build muscle AND prevent muscle loss.
- Eggs are rich in leucine, an essential amino acid that contributes to our muschles uing the enery and muscle recovery after a work out
Standard
- Eggs are used by Scientiest as the standard for evaluating the protein quality of other foods
So the simple Egg is not so simple. For the average price of .29 cents the egg is a healthy snack (hard boiled) or featured when incorporated with farmers market veggies for an affordable and flavorful Vegetable Frittata. Yummy!
For more Eggcellant (sorry I had to) information go to:

Pricey Produce
Pricey Produce
MSNBC.com reports we're seeing produce price increases due to the recent weather domestically (Florida Freeze & Heavy Rains in CA) and internationally (Earthquake in Chile & More Heavy Rains in Mexico).
Monday look for a price comparison here.
Price of Produce apparently is creating sticker shock...tomatoes up almost 200% increase.
Talk to the farmers at your farmers market and get their field report!
