    The farmer’s markets here are pretty legit, but I live in the midwest, so we have a ton of farms. I got some amazing goat cheese the other day at the farmer’s market. The problem is the prices are ridiculous so we only go once in a while.

    We did discover the lady we get our dog treats from though.

      Lifehacker tip: instead of buying dog treats by the ounce, just use another type of dog food as treats and buy it by the tens of pounds. If you’re excited they’re a real treat.

        Oh we’re more bougie than that. Like I said, we get dog treats from a local baker. Trust me, my dogs like them so much more than treats you could get from a store, and definitely more than a 10 pound bag of different food.

          I have a local “Barkery” that makes amazing dog treats. Definitely way better than store bought, and it’s nice to support a local business. They also give my dog freebies worth more than what I’m buying most times I stop in, so I can’t complain about price too much

            Yeah, I’m really happy to help this lady. She’s super nice and she just does this as a business out of her home. Every time I order, I tell her to mail it to me (and pay the extra for shipping) because I just don’t want the hassle of arranging a pickup and every time she says, “are you sure? I hate to charge you extra!” Plus, she makes dog treats that look like Indiana- where we live- which is just fun.
