Our local farmers market


The farmers market is open on Wednesday and Saturday. We are trying to go once a week and this is the second trip we took since we've been back.
This is one of the farmers at the back of the market. In the
summer he sells yellow cherry tomatoes, long twisty cucumbers and purple beans.

Right now they are selling different colored carrots, big spinach looking things and maybe potatoes.
They are all organic, but some of the other farmers do low spray. He was always in the same place from now to before we were in Scotland.

The sprouts look very good but we only get the bean mix from that table. You can't see the bean mix in this picture but it's there. In the mix there is chick pees, brown things, pink things and green things. We always get a dollars worth.
This is fresh honey and right now we have the honey that looks bumpy and is not the bear one, I don't now if it's in that picture. They sit at the entrance to the market and only sell honey with lots of bear and bee things every where.
Some people sell flowers or sometimes even paintings of flowers.
We haven't ever gotten any flowers or paintings but i think that they will get plenty. The paintings were water color ones and are always flowers in vases, i saw the woman who sells them painting them.
The person holding the bag with trees on it is mum. I think she's buying something but i don't know what. The person that runs this stall says that we are welcome to visit her farm which is cool.Look at all those greens!

So...this is your photography debut? I LOVE the bright colors and the angles of your shots!! Did the farmer selling his wares mind that you took his photo? His smile and posture make it appear that he was proud that you took his picture.

I wish this post were Scratch & Sniff so I could smell the wonderful aromas of fresh produce!
