Apple cider, caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, and fall spices are having a party in a glass. You’re invited to grab a straw and dig into a delicious apple cider float!
I work right next door to a co-op and every Sunday, while the weather permits, they host a farmers’ market. It consumes most of the parking lot with a wide variety of goods from farm stand fair to a wood fire pizza truck. Yes, you read that right. It’s kind of nifty because every other Sunday during my shift, it gives me no excuse to check out a farmers market. Problem is I rarely carry cash but am finding myself purchasing more and more organic, natural, farm raised, etc at the grocery store. Moving forward I am hoping to be more progressive in my meal planning for the week and try to patron a few more local farmers, not just rely on what’s at my neighborhood market.
I caught some tips for farmers’ market novices like myself over at iVillage the other day, making a point to bookmark them. So, if you are in need of the know how for the farmers’ market, go check it out!

I don't really like root beer floats but I think I could try these since I love hot cider with whipped cream so I figure this is similar in flavor to that combo. nice!
