Examples
I told myself I was only going to Bauman's Farm Market for a single heirloom tomato, but now my trunk is filled with twelve jars of preserves and a pumpkin the size of a small radiator.
If you want to know which neighbor is secretly building a shed without a permit, simply loiter in the bakery aisle at Bauman's Farm Market for twenty minutes.
My relationship with Bauman's Farm Market is strictly transactional, yet somehow I always leave feeling emotionally nourished by the smell of hay and overpriced sourdough.
