The start of the new year is now past. Everyone is seemingly falling back into the routine of life, myself included. December was nuts. I didn’t make it to a single farmers market in the month of December. Part of me enjoyed the break from having to be at a set place at a set…

Farmers Market 11/1/12
Back at the market this week. I didn’t go last week because I felt like I had just enough produce to get through another week. It was a creative stretch but I think we fared okay. I’m not sure if the expense evens out over the weeks or not but I definitely spent more than…
Farmers Market 10/18/12
The fruit I picked up today kind of strikes me. It just doesn’t seem right that I can buy peaches, watermelon, and grapes straight from the farmers market. California growing seasons never cease to amaze, nor the sheer access I have to so many different fruits and veggies because of my geographical location. I mean…

Fruit is the star of the show this week. I came home with more raspberries as they were cheaper than the week before. The flat of 6 were only $5!! More freestone peaches as I know they won’t be around for much longer. And figs! The basket of figs was only $3! I think end…
Farmers Market 8/2/12

Ended up at the market much later in the day than I normally go and wow, lots of people! But then again it is summer and not many people want to be at the market at 9am. It was nice to see a few new things… corn has finally made it to market. I also…
Farmers Market 5/3/12
Good day at the market despite not really having much of a game plan for things. So I went for a little of this and a little of that. Radishes are new this week and I was happy to find some green garlic. Citrus season is winding down fast so I only came home with…
Farmers Market 3/1/12
Despite being rainy and foggy as I made my trek to the market this morning, I think I made out pretty well. I found some Okinawan sweet potatoes! I knew I was overdue to purchase something “new to me” at the market, but really? I was sold upon seeing their beautiful purple flesh. There is…
Farmers Market 1/26/12
I went a little overboard on January’s bountiful fruit. Satsumas Blood Oranges Tangerines Pink Lady Apples Pippin Apples Lemons Red Grapes Green Onions Carrots Napa Cabbage Russet Potatoes Garnet Yams Broccoli Cauliflower Tomatoes Butternut Squash
