SUZY STUMP: IT WILL BE THE GREATEST DAY EVER >>>

Unless you’ve lived under a rock for the last bazillion years, you should know the Tacoma Farmers Market starts tomorrow to make Thursday mornings a lot sweeter. But fresh fruit (where it’s impossible to shy away from free samples) isn’t all you’ll encounter. The market is all about supporting local growers and producers. In addition to gourd birdhouses and handmade soaps, look for locally processed specialty cheeses, baked goods and a million honey products.

This year, the Living Local Lounge debuts at the Tacoma Farmers Market. Check out all the juicy details here.

[Tacoma Farmers Market, Thursday. May 15, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Ninth and 11th streets on Broadway, downtown Tacoma]
