wish I had known about learning express! Since perpetual imagination closed I went to target for elf ride toys
oh no! we need to do a whole thread on those guys.
Oh man, I had one of Renee's duck eggs this morning -- scrambled with a little olive oil and fresh spinach, just a dab of salt, yummola. They really are tasty, even richer flavor than her chicken eggs.
Ditto, thanks Scooterbug for starting this thread and thanks to all the farmer's market supporters. With your continued support, we are able to attract more vendors. It's sort of a chicken and egg thing.
Moonlight Micro-Farm offers great stocking stuffer gifts for gardeners and the health conscious, including heirloom garden seeds, gift seed tins, organic sprout seeds, and sprout jar kits. Individual seed packets are $2 and gift jars and tins are $10.
We also have handmade hoola hoops. I'm taking custom holiday orders until Dec. 21. Kids hoops are $10-15 and adult hoops are $25-35.
Nice article by Walton Outdoors about local farms:

Those hula hoops are the BEST. The have just the right weight to work well, and Chandra can help you choose the size best for your height and wiggle. ;-)
You won't find us at Subway on 30A. Yes, we are guilty of going to Publix on CR395. I still feel guilty about supporting it when it's not much farther to the Winn-Dixie at Inlet Beach where we used to shop.
Honestly, the invasion of chains on 30A really scares the $hit out of us. We decided to invest on 30A because of the non-existence of chains on 30A. That's what makes the area so special and different in our opinion. If it's gonna become chain city, we'll just put in a pool in our GA home, project photos of the Gulf as a background, and not put so many miles on our vehicles. There are a lot of really great non-chain restaurants that we can support in the ATL.
EDIT: The movie "Jaws" has left an indelible scar on my life with regard to large bodies of water and the creatures therein.

Duck eggs, eh? Who would have thunk it? I will have to try some. Thanks for the tip.
Re post No. 16, It may be worth noting that the Winn-Dixie east of Inlet Beach is actually in Bay County.
True.dat. But supporting it means less support for chains in SoWal land.
That being said, I'm not gonna lie. I like the convenience of Publix on 395. But it has always bothered me in that it is an opening of a floodgate to more chains. I don't like the idea of Walmart on 98 in SoWal. But jeez, let's at least try to keep them off 30A.
I do buy my groceries at publix and a few clothing items or household items at target but other than that I shop and eat at locally owned businesses. Better amd umique products better overall experience and once you factor in my time, how long things last, and local/frequent discount - better prices. Have to still shop for scooterbro but therest of my Xmas shopping is all done and at local places!
