Our local Farmer’s Market starts back up the first week of May. My girls love going to the Farmer’s Market to search out new foods and chat up all the farmers, and sneaky mom that I am means there is always some type of learning lesson to be included in these trips. Bwah-haha-ha-ha! With this being said, we will make weekly or bi-weekly trips to the market once it is in full swing.
I’m excited to begin my 2014 Farmer’s Market tour with my new Produce Stand Complete Starter Kit from ChicoBag in tow! I always feel like such a doofus when I forget my reusable bags or just don’t have anyway to carry the bulky bags. But as fellow parents you can understand how important it is to have your hands available for holding on to your children when in a large crowd.
Enter the Produce Stand Complete Starter Kit. Now, I’m most excited to use this kit come spring/summer/fall as we find fresh and tasty treats at our local Farmer’s Market, but I will honestly say that I’ve already used the kit while shopping our local grocer. The kit comes with three different reusable produce bags, each made out of a different material: rePETe, rePETe Mesh, and a Hemp-Cotton blend.
I love that these bags all roll up and can be stored in the included apple pouch and the attached carbiner means that I cannot forget the bags once we are out shopping. Plus my hands are then free to grab dashing children who spot things like… popcorn, and goat cheese, and flowers!
The best part about the bags though? They’re machine washable. Machine. Washable. This means you don’t have to worry about nasty germs growing on your bags from repeated uses without washes. Think about it. When was the last time you washed your reusable bags? Can they even be machine washed? Because we all know how well spot cleaning works with killing germs… it’s like having your kids ‘bathe’ by wiping down with a washcloth every night and never actually scrubbing them in the tub with soap and water.
If you need to build up your collection of reusable shopping bags take a look around the ChicoBag website. They offer a great selection of well-made bags at really reasonable prices.
