farmers markets
I was happy to discover 2 local farmers markets near our new home, and I made sure to check both of them out this week.
Tuesday, the market was held on a cool old-timey street that had an antique store packed with goodies and an art gallery next door. There were even live musicians creating a fun atmosphere while you browsed the fabulous local produce. I picked up some beans (they're fuzzy like peaches), a lemon cucumber, a couple peaches, and a variety of tomatoes.
Yesterday's market was set in a park and had a larger variety of both produce and vendors. I sampled an apricot (though I forget what kind), some yummy homemade bread, honey butter, and raspberry preserves. We walked away with a cross-bred melon that smelled soooo good and an expensive yet beautiful mini peach pie. Of course, we picked up a carton of vanilla ice cream on the way home.
I can't wait to try it all!

ReplyDeleteWhat did the purple pepper taste like? None of us here had ever seen one. (Vera, Amy and I)
ReplyDeleteI didn't purchase any peppers because we already had a few at home. I'll let you know when I do though. =)
