You have to get up pretty early in the morning get the good stuff. Every Saturday through October the lines are forming around 8 a.m. on Lafayette Street in Downtown Starkville, MS for the Community Market.

This week I tried a new strategy: buy first, socialize second. Everyone else seemed to have the same plan, so don't worry that any of your friends or neighbors will feel snubbed if you just give them a nod then race for the tomatoes...

It is all about the tomatoes right now. There are several vendors to choose from. You could buy them all and do a taste test. (Add a comment below, and let us know your results!)

Don't forget to get signed up for curbside recycling, or at least bug your parents to do it.

Even Vincent Van Gogh would be happy with the selection, and we all know how hard he was to please.

Actually, it's not all just tomatoes and peaches, there's music, crafts, art, and plenty of people to stand around and chew the fat with. If they could figure out how to make it air conditioned, it would be fun to hang around all day.
