Oh, farmers’ market. How I have missed you.
Folks, it was even better than I remembered. Cherries, berries, citrus, peaches, nectarines, herbs, nuts…glorious fresh food.
Kendall, Maya, Hen and I spent this lovely sunny day strolling the market from booth to booth. Wandering around. Tasting all kinds of samples. Chatting with the farmers. The Cali strawberries were so fresh and ripe, they perfumed the air all over the market. I have no doubt you could smell them from blocks away.
This was the only photo Maya would let me take of her today. I think she’s getting tired of me taking so many pictures of her all the time. “No mama, no camera today!”
When we got home, we were so ready to dig into our market haul. We made huge overstuffed hummus-tomato-cucumber sandwiches and dove into the berries head first.
Here’s what I bought today:
- giant box of HUGE blueberries (see photo below)
- purple cabbage
- roughly 3 pounds of cherries (no joke)
- broccoli
- 4 cukes
- 2 plums
- bag of oyster mushrooms
- 3 baskets of strawberries
- 3 baskets of raspberries
- container of cilantro & jalapeño hummus
So worth it. Viva la berries!
