But you can count on the crafters having full tables after a long hard winter.
And I stocked up on eggs!
There were ramps for sale but I passed. I still have some from the rampfest. They were selling mushroom logs so you could grow your own. I didn't buy any but now I am wishing I had.
Click for a closer look. I am hoping I will run into these at a future farmer's market.
The local mascot. It is West Virginia so I am guessing it is a Mountaineer? What is a Mountaineer?
We left with our goodies and took the scenic way home as always. I try to avoid major highways as they tend to be rather boring.
I like driving down country roads.
We made some friends along the way.
Some of my eggs. I bought 6 dozen.
I bought this milking stool too. I wonder if Teddy will let me milk her since she is the only animal I have. I might lose an arm!
Cornmeal made from Bloody Butcher Corn. This is a red, sweet corn and I can't wait to make something with this. But what?
An assortment of goat cheese.
And a log of summer sausage made from Longhorn Cattle. Raising Texas Longhorn Cattle is very popular in my area.
We had a very good dinner made with the contents from our day of foraging!

I'm a little envious about those eggs right now, I need some! LOL!!!
Those mushroom logs and the mushroom growing kits were great.
Don't you love the back roads? I love to ride around in the country. Once, in the evening, I stumbled upon a whole pond full of Amish ice skating with bonfires. Seeing them, my young son thought that we had gone back in time!
Wonderful post,as always!
I've never seen mushroom logs and growing kits like that! Over here we usually only can grow champignions in styrofoam boxes but I know an easy way to grow morels but it takes two years until one get more than a few. Your way look so much cooler!
Beautiful way home!
Have a great day!
Christer.
you can never have too much cheese, or fresh brown eggs.
how is Teddy's paw?
