Favorite thing to eat at the market: My favorite thing to eat at the market is peaches. Growing up in central Texas we waited every year for peaches to arrive and I still get super excited to see them at the market for the first time each year. Second favorite thing is okra – I love it cooked on the grill.
Fun Fact: I love to camp and hike. My husband and I spent six weeks traveling the country and camping (in a tent!) visiting a lot of state and national parks. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Since then we’ve upgraded our shelter to our ’97 Casita trailer and love to visit all the awesome state parks nearby.

Favorite thing to eat at the market: Some of my favorite purchases at the market are root veggies, fresh herbs, goat cheese, fresh-squeezed juice, and floral bouquets. Anything fresh is best!
Fun Fact: I am an artist. I love to paint. I love to create. Acrylic and watercolors are my best forms of medium. I am planning to make paint colors using items from my garden this fall.

Favorite thing to eat at the market: Cheese and fruit (figs and peaches are my go-to). Luckily these two pair well! Bonus points if there’s honey involved.
Fun Fact: I love doing yoga and have been practicing for over 10 years! I hope to one day pursue my yoga teacher certification and travel to teach classes around the world.
