Upon further consideration of the amount of money we allocate to the farmer's market we decided to shift more of our spending away from the store and more direct. While I felt good about limiting spending it is clear that more food should be bought from the farmer's market than less. For the most part we still keep it to vegetables. But now we buy eggs (mostly because we can get a dozen bug eating chicken eggs for $4 which is a great price for the quality), bread, and some meat (in fact I would like to limit meat to only farmer's market sourced which certainly keeps it as an ingredient, not a main part of the meal). We still avoid prepared foods (making our own jam and sauerkraut) and I actually havent found cheese/dairy vendors that I really like. An update here.

I knew you could hit the nail on the head, and truly, when I read that one should consider the after work hours as "the fruits of your labor" I smiled. Never have thought of it that way, and it will make me treat my remainder hours each day with a little more thought and reverence... Thank you for your recommendations, ideas and helpful hints!
