Here Are 3 Creative Ideas To Make The Farmer's Market Your Best Friend This Weekend.
Hi, Creative Friends,
Summertime brings much joy with its longer days, refreshing swimming holes, and its bountiful farmer’s markets! Many fresh creative ideas can be inspired by our farmer friends at the local market!
This week, pop on over to the local farmer’s market and get creative with these 3 ideas:
Pump Up The Jam: Grab yourself a big box of fresh berries and whip up some homemade jam. The good news is Ella Quittner at Food 52 made a lot of jams to find “The Absolutely Best Way To Make Jam.” Not to spoil the secret, but she macerates and cooks sweet fresh-picked berries right on the stovetop to whip up the most lusciously beautiful treat.
Frame The Farmer: Inspiration can strike anywhere and the local farmers’ market is full of people who produce colors, textures, and beautiful muses. Bring a camera and snap a big bunch of photos. Pick a few of your favorite snapshots and have them printed at Parabo Press. Or bring a sketchbook and take a deep dive into florals like this “Farmer’s Market” art print from INPRNT inspired by teddy bear sunflowers, salmon-colored Zinnias, and petal pink Cosmos.
Build A Better Bouquet: The farmer’s market is filled with many wonderful ingredients to get the creative juices going. Maybe gather together mint stems with a bunch of Zinna flowers to make a beautiful centerpiece for the kitchen table? Putting together a beautiful bouquet is easy with this video tutorial from Team Flowers: How To Make Farmer’s Market Bouquets.
Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on or how will you get creative with your local farmer’s market.
