To market, to market, to buy a fat pig
Or maybe just a bag of peaches! I'm so very excited that my new hometown of Lake Forest Park is starting a Farmers Market this summer! They've pledged to focus on produce and other foodstuffs, instead of crafts. I think that's a good thing, because the produce is what keeps people coming back week after week.
I used to love going to the Davis Farmers Market when I was a student there. In addition to weekend mornings, the market would also open every Wednesday night in the summertime. Local restaurants would sell their food out of carts in the park, musicians would play, and little kids would splash in the fountain and run around on the grass. It wasn't unusual for temperatures to break 100 degrees in the daytime, but after sunset, it would cool down to about 75, the perfect temperature to eat dinner on the grass and stroll the market picking up fruit for tomorrow's breakfast. I really hope the LFP market is successful, and I can't wait to get my hands on some of that summertime fruit.
