Saturday at the Farmer's Market

It's Farmer's Market season! I went yesterday with Mom to the City Market. They have an amazing weekend market, plus tons of cool physical stores for food, wine, plants, and knick-knacks. We had breakfast at Succotash (cool atmosphere, kind of disappointing in that the food was only average), and then shopped for produce.

I snapped some pictures as we wandered, including baskets of the largest asparagus I have ever seen, a bewildering display of greens and green onions, and a display of adorable wooden planters in the shape of little chairs and buildings.
















I made out like a bandit from this trip - giant bunches of fresh spinach and baby lettuce, radishes, green onions, Andouille sausage, strawberries, grapes, zuccini, and fresh ricotta from Carollo’s Italian Gourmet Grocery. I had a wonderful morning with Mom, plus I'm going to eat very well this week. I can't wait to do this again next weekend, and I'm looking forward to adapting my diet based on what's in season. It's a win-win-win situation to buy and eat like this: local, seasonal food, directly from small farms.
