There's a reason that the Bardstown Road farmer's market is the farmer's market in Louisville. They have a huge selection of products, a convenient location, and a fun atmosphere.

Vendors from around the area showed up this past Saturday for opening day of the New Albany Farmer's Market. This market isn't just for farmers, however; in addition to food and plants, there were also baked goods, arts & crafts, a live band, and a Bubble Bus.
Valiantly resisting the urge to put off shopping in order to play at the Bubble Bus with the kids, I explored the market. And just for you, dear readers, I bought a bunch of stuff to try out and report back on.
