Farmers Market!

On Friday's there's a Farmers Market near my house. And you all know I how love a farmers market! I have a whole post dedicated to the ones on Central Coast of California. So here's one dedicated to my lastest find. My mother went to this one once and has been dying for it two weeks after she left. And she has two of her own farmers markets!





This is a nice, small farmers market with three rows of vendors. There's bakeries, lots of fruit and veg (all organic), salmon fillets, kombucha, fresh pasta, the list goes on. I buy some of my produce here. But in all actually, this market is not only pricey, it's kinda over-priced. I still don't quite know why a fresh salmon fillet is 21 bucks a lb. If it's fresh and was caught on Wednesday  at the bay shouldn't it be cheaper than what I get from the supermarket that imported from the East Coast? Doesn't help that I don't have a job....yet!

But enough of that. I bought broccoli, potatoes, and tomatoes. I'm going to make a Broccoli, Potato, and Cheese soup. It's still a little warm here (around  the early 80's). But I want some soup!!

I'll keep you posted!

  1. Yes I have a farmer's market BUT nothing like yours! Mine is predictable as the produce doesn't change much from week to week AND they don't have artisan breads, 3 types of beets & radishes, cherries, blueberries, heirloom tomatoes, a variety of lettuce, etc.
    On the other hand, I guess this is what it means to shop locally - only buy what is produced now. (which in TX means not much since it's been SO dry & Hot!)
