Living in the city I’m pretty far removed from most of the agricultural areas that produce my fruits and veggies, so it’s always a treat to visit the Farmers Market. I’m not a regular attendee, but when I do go I usually visit the Farmers Market held at UC, Irvine on Saturdays. And though I go to buy, even if it’s in moderation, it’s nearly as fun to people watch as is it is to shop.
That said, it is the edibles, and the other goodies for sale, that are the main draw. Not only do vendors sell fruit and veggies, they also sell breads, desserts, cheese, jewelry, plants, and flowers. Armed with a reusable bag, I usually make a first pass through the market to see what’s available, and then revisit the stalls that have the goods I want and/or need.
On my most recent visit I was also armed with my camera, and took some photos as I made my way through the market. I hope you enjoy them.
I hope your week is going well thus far…
Warm regards,
Melody

I do love a good farmer’s market. If you ever get the chance, the one in South Pasadena on Thursday evenings is more like a carnival! Love the photos and is that marinating fresh mozzarella?
Cheers – Beth
Beth,
The market in Pasadena sounds great! The cheese in the glass jar is goat cheese – so good!

This is one of my favorite things to do on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I love your photography, as usual. I am quite intrigued by the jar of pickled ??? Looked as though those were eggs in there, do you know what else? Sure looked good.
Barb,
I’m glad you like the photos. I was intrigued by the beautiful jars, and we ended up buying one. The jar contained balls of goat cheese – yum! It also contained olive oil, peppers, parsley, olives, and spices. Happily, the goat cheese is delicious. We’ll be going back for more…
