We have a farmer's market within walking distance and when it isn't too hot I do walk over there.
Armenian cucumbers, nectorines, and white peaches are my favorites. But there is such a good variety of veggies, I will get a lot of different ones for the next week's meals. It sure beats anything in the supermarket.

We have a Saturday market that sells all kinds of things in addition to food. The local bread bakery (Great Harvest) has a booth with free samples. There are always beautiful bouquets of flowers for $5 and $10. Apples, zucchini, peaches, beets, greens, radishes, tomatoes, pluots, jars of fresh honey, homemade organic doggy bisquits, one of a kind birdhouses, bead jewelry. I love going there.

We have one in town every Sunday morning. I mainly go for the lettuce - many varieties and its lasts for weeks in the fridge.
At the moment mandarins, bush lemons, avocado and strawberries are in season. And last Sunday I was lucky enough to get purple carrots.
Love it, the fruit and vege is much cheaper and fresher than the supermarket.

Our farmers market is in the park in our village. It is MY garden.
Already has beans, all kinds of greens, early potatoes. and small
carrots.
It is a day out to go threw our park , talk to all the folks selling
there produce and crafts. Even the DH loves it. I must also
enclude baked goods and plants of all kinds.
Just a beautiful way to spend a couple hours.
