My husband and I make it a point to visit the weekly farmers’ market to get fresh produce and flowers. The first market we saw was in the Bay Area and I was absolutely enamoured by the whole setup. The market occupied a portion of a downtown street (closed to traffic of course) and had stalls along both sides. There were stalls selling fruits, vegetables, breads, eggs and even ready to eat foods. There was also a man playing live music to perk up ambiance.
From there, we moved to Orange County and found a market nearby. This one is on Sundays and is conveniently located in the same complex as my latest favourite store, Sprouts. Even though the market lacks a live music performance, the friendly folks and their quality goods make up for it completely. We even got some free stuff today, from two stalls. One vendor gave a few meyer lemons and another dropped a pink lady apple into our bag of gala apples. I leave the market looking forward to another Sunday of explorations and finds.

ReplyDeleteWe miss such markets here in NJ and with the breezy chilling winds here, it is not possible to visit.
