This morning my wife had left a note on my car door. Pick up cucumbers at Farmers Market on the way to work this morning.

Fresh produce, I mean right out of the garden fresh produce is such a treat this time of year. Nothing tastes like it. It's awesome.

I stopped by Knobloch's Greenhouse who were set up next to CJ Calloway's on Sioux Falls southern edge. I went right for the cucumbers as was requested, but right after that I noticed that I had hit a jackpot for lunch later on.

I picked up some broccoli, Brett and Amy said it was their  first of the year. I asked about the tomatoes and he said, yep, first of the year. Vine ripened and ready. He said people had bought them and raved about their flavor on BLT's!  I picked up one for lunch along with some of the broccoli.

I'm going to have a great lunch today and  we'll have awesome cucumbers to take to the river this weekend.

If you're looking to up your game when it comes to eating healthy, check out your local Farmers Market. (Note: they will be open July 4th off 69th Street near CJ Calloway's.
