Farmers Market 11/8/12
What bright crisp morning at the market today. After a nice little heat wave we are cooling back down to autumn weather. The seasonal change of the market is finally taking place. Apples, pears, and grapes are the front runners in fruit. Along with a heavy showing of persimmons and pomegranates. Noticed several vendors with…

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…

No more raspberries at the market this week. Kind of wish I would have bought two flats last week rather than one. But I did get a great price on strawberries! Six bucks for half flat of organic/incredibly still sweet strawberries! Half of the flat has already been cleaned and chopped into small pieces and…

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…

It felt good to get back to the market today. After one too many runs to Safeway around and between travel days, I am reminded once again why I love and appreciate everything I buy at the farmers market. Big box grocers simply cannot compare to what farmers markets offer. I went for a little…

Holy expanding market Batman!!! They added a third row to accomodate all the vendors! With the addition of all the summer fruits now in season, the market has a wonderful mix of veggies, fruits, and handmade goods. I am quite smitten with this weeks haul. The cherries are amazing! The peaches? I found for $1/lb!…

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…

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…

I think the season has officially changed at the market. It totally felt like a new market! There were more vendors, stone fruits were showing up… the likes of peaches, apricots, cherries, green plums. Several more vendors had tomatoes. Summer squash is starting to make an appearance. The price of strawberries has dropped several dollars….

With Will being out of town this week the fridge still has a fair amount of veggies that need to be used up so I only picked up a few things this morning. Was completely surprised to find romanesco today! Looking forward to doing something fun with this fractal patterned/fibonacci numbered broccoli/cauliflower beauty. That was…

A day late, I know! But I did get back to the market yesterday after being gone for nearly two weeks. It really did feel like I overbought but I didn’t. Instead I ended up splurging on 3 “new to me” items. Making up for the last couple of weeks? Maybe. Satsumas Guava (possibly green…
