markets
From tasty tomatoes to pastured poultry, western PA’s markets are the secret to eating yummy, nutritious meals. Yum takes you on a tour of some of the areas many markets and let’s you know what is in season, right now.
Did you ever notice how shopping at market doesn’t feel like grocery shopping? Funny, the experience of going to market differs so much from the dash to the store that my brain doesn’t count it as something from my ‘to do’ list. Yum figures it is the ‘hug factor’ of seeing old and making new friends.
