Farmers Market

July 16, 2012 by adaisygarden

One thing I like about Mondays is that I get to go to the Farmers Market!

This Farmers Market is huge! There are hundreds of vendors and also a very large Flea Market section in the back. You can find anything here from socks to tomatoes. It’s like a gigantic outdoor department store! And so much fun!! I think my favorite section is the antiques area where you can find lots of interesting items. However, today I didn’t have time to go back there so I just went straight to the veggies and fruit which was what I came for.

Everything is so fresh. Lemonade anyone?

The peaches are so sweet and juicy! I’m thinking..peach cobbler… oh yeah, I’m supposed to be on a diet.
The cherries are one of my favorites so we bought 2 lbs for $2!

There were lots of cherries. We walk up and down the aisles looking for the best prices and produce.

I couldn’t believe all those radishes for $1!!

If you’ve never had a Florida avocado, I suggest you do. They are delicious!
And those hot peppers? I like to put them in a bottle with garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. You can use the oil for dressings and the peppers in anything from scrambled eggs to chili.

Watermelon and summer. Can’t wait to make frozen watermelon treats! My favorite!
Just blend watermelon, sugar, ice, and a little water. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze for a couple of hours. Place 4-5 in a glass and serve with a fork. Use the fork to break up the cubes.
My Dad made these for me when I was a little girl. I can’t make them as good as he did but close enough. They are so good when it’s hot outside! Very refreshing! 🙂

Beefsteak tomatoes! All I can say is, “Wow!”

My husband likes asparagus so we got 2 bunches for $3.

On the way out, I snapped this photo. The peaches were calling me.

Dinner tonight was delicious… nothing like fresh veggies.

Happy marketing, 🙂
Daisy

Those cherries are too good to be true – we pay an arm AND a leg here, so I hardly ever break down and buy any. My mouth is watering just looking at all that amazing produce…

All the clicks are awesome and mouth watering specially the last one of ripped peaches. These are so fresh and affordable, that’s why I like to visit farmers market regularly.

  Yes, all the fresh veggies & fruit inspire me to eat healthier. At least try to 🙂

I love going to the Farmer’s Market! I work most Saturdays and Tuesdays right now, which is when our market is open, but whenever I get a chance, I love to go. Loving the look of those cherries, too – I bought a pound and a half at the market in Segovia, Spain when I was there and ate them all in one day. Definitely worth it. 🙂

  Thank you! I’m blessed to have several that are close enough to enjoy, but this market is definitely the best one and people drive from many surrounding towns to enjoy it.

Is this by any chance in Webster? Enjoying looking through your blog, Daisy!
(My email will look different than you’re used to – it’s my generic for-the-internet one that I use when asked for one online – I don’t use it for correspondence.)

I wish I could go! That farmers market is huge! And those prices, wow! That sounds like so much fun to have a flea market there too! Our farmer’s markets here are small but growing, so maybe one day we will have one like that!
