After eating I head to the fruit and vegetable stands (the real reason I came here). The selection is good and typically I can find whatever I am looking for. Today we bought some SC peaches which, believe it or not, have been better this season than the GA peaches-go figure. We also got brussel sprouts, strawberries and rhubarb. I have plans to make homemade strawberry-rhubarb jam.
Most recently I have been buying pasta from Pappardelle's stand. Last time we were here we bought the Southwest Pasta Blend.
It is a combination of blue corn, red southwestern chile, green jalapeno and yellow maize. Loved it so much I had to get more. I also got some Chipotle Black Bean Tagliatelle (flat cut pasta). Do you see a theme here? Love Mexican flavors!!
Our last stop was to get a new plant for the front porch.
All in all it was a great trip. The prices are great and I would much rather put money into the pocket of local merchants than big chain companies. Want to find a farmers market in your area?

Hi Kelley,
ReplyDeleteI am a huge sucker for a great Farmer's Market:) The one you visit looks fabulous:) I am so in the mood for fresh peaches and will have to see if my Minneapolis Farmer's Market has a few! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
we hit the market too this weekend! I love everything there, and how it's so fresh, and local!!!
