If an appetizing farmstead frolic is leaving you craving more, you’re in for a new crop of romantic ideas that are made to spark.
At The Market
- Meet N Greet: Set a goal to talk to at least two farmers or vendors. Ask about their process, what makes their produce special, and if they have recipe suggestions.
- Blind Taste Test: Find a vendor selling things like honey, jam, or cheese. Buy a few samples and have a blindfolded taste test with each other! Try to guess ingredients and origins.
- Flower Power: If the market includes flower vendors, pick out a small bouquet for the table where you’ll enjoy your homemade lunch.
Cooking Up A Storm
- “Recipe Remix”: If you’re both comfortable in the kitchen, start with a loose recipe idea, then riff together based on what you found at the market. This adds a playful, collaborative element.
- Music & Mood: Create a playlist! Choose something upbeat and fun for the cooking process – maybe something matching the style of cooking.
Deep Conversation
- Food Memories: Beyond just discussing your meal, talk about food moments that are nostalgic for each of you. Maybe a childhood favorite or a dish that connects to your family heritage.
- Gratitude: Take a moment to acknowledge the farmers and everyone involved in bringing fresh food to the market. Discuss whether local food is important to you as a couple or not, why?
- Farmer For The Day: Talk about your ideal farm visit. Where would you go? Would you want to interact with the animals more or see the crops?
