The question goes out; “do you use lettuce and if so what kind or where do you buy it?” My answer is “yes! I buy it at the farmer’s market. I have been buying it there all summer.”
We usually get to the market at 8:30 am before the market officially opens at 9:00 am. Usually it is a slow time and the vendors have a lot of stock.
Today when we got there at 8:30, it was packed. There were just a few parking spots. When I got to the vendor that sells the lettuce and other fresh produce there was a long line! I couldn’t believe it. People were buying lettuce and all kinds of fresh produce. I stood in line while Don got our stuff at the rest of the market.
I finally got my lettuce by the time Don was done getting mushrooms, blueberries, green beans, and broccoli sprouts. I never saw the rest of the market. People must have had the same idea—let’s get there early and get fresh produce. Maybe we think it is safer than what you buy in the store. We haven’t had any problem…yet.

I heard a little bit about the lettuce situation before I left Scotland. Now that I’m home I don’t know what I can trust. I’m not even sure what lettuce is affected. Are the packaged salad kits safe? How about kale? I’m longing for a salad but just don’t have the courage right now. I know you’ve been a farmers market supporter for a long time - I should check out the markets near me.
