Farmers Market 10/11/12

Going to be short and to the point today as I should be making dinner right now instead of doing a blog post. Been a busy day but still managed to get to the market. Sorry the pics are so bad… I was in a rush and was too lazy to change lenses… the 35…

Farmers Market 9/20/12

It was a nice surprise to find organic raspberries for $1 a basket! Hence, the flat! I don’t have an immediate use for them so most are going to be frozen to use for baking down the road. Om nom nom. Valencia oranges Yellow peaches Nectarines Raspberries! Nothing terribly exciting in the veggie department. Didn’t…

Farmers Market 9/13/12

Back to our regularly scheduled program today! After any time away, even if it is just two weeks, it is really fascinating to see how the season is moving along. Grapes are every where in the market now. Cherry tomatoes are gone, but the price of heirlooms are starting to come down. The big fruit…

California is most certainly having an amazing fruit this summer. The cantaloup I picked up last week was like liquid sugar. And the peaches are out of the world right now. Hence why I picked up quite a few more… though half of those are going in a tart. Yellow peaches Red plums And in…

The peaches? I found for $1/lb!…

Farmers Market 5/31/12

Sometimes I am blown away at the prices I find at the farmers market. Take the green beans, for example. That’s over 2 1/2 pounds of green beans. How much did I pay for them? $1. Yep, 1 dollar. They aren’t old either. Now I’m not quite sure what I am going to do with…

Farmers Market 5/24/12

Busy day at the market this morning. The change in seasonal offerings has people coming out in much higher numbers. I’m still staying away from the stone fruit though, still a bit early in the season. Added some purple into the mix baby eggplant and red onions. Also found a newer farmer that has a…
