Farmers Market

Saturday morning we went to the Farmers Market down by the marina to check it out.  They have it every Saturday from 9 - 2 and on Wednesday's from 4 - 7 pm.  We were surprised to see it looked a lot like a festival.  There was a guy playing a guitar, lots of food vendors and of course.....produce and flowers.  There were bakery booths, people selling jewelry, and I saw one local artist had a booth.

 It had stopped raining earlier that morning and the skies started to clear soon after we got there.

Beautiful cut flowers. A large bunch cost $10.  

 There was even a nursery there.  

The produce was fresh picked.  

This was a plate from a Mexican food vendor.  They have a  restaurant downtown also, but set up at the market to sell their food.  It looked really good, but  9 am was a bit too early for this dish!  Black beans with salsa, Mexican rice with salsa, and two tamales. 

The ice cream shop just happened to be located on the same street and was open.

These are the goodies we bought.  The Rainier cherries are coming in this time of year so there are lots of people selling them.  The strawberries were smaller than the Plant City berries, but very, very sweet.  Alan bought some jalapeno cheese and of course we had to have a bag of kettle corn.  

Couldn't resist taking another picture of a Hollyhock plant.  Some were 5 - 6 foot tall.
