The farmer's market is in a local park and only a 15 minute walk from my house but I don't go down as often as I could. It's there twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays and is always busy. Today I decided to go down and take a look at what's available.
It's a pretty good sized market and there are a lot of produce and gourmet items to choose from. But unfortunately, none of it is affordable for my dollar a day challenge. Look at the beautiful berries!
I mentioned that in a pinch, I can come here and glean free samples of fruit but I didn't have that in mind today. However, many vendors insisted I taste their gourmet food samples. So, I had a delectable taste of smooth chocolate and some cactus tortillas and salsa. Here's a kiosk of fruit samples with people buzzing around it. I tried the peaches and a plum/apricot hybrid fruit.
The seedling guy was there today. I usually grow my own seedlings, but since some of them got eaten and destroyed, I bought a few. These won't be harvestable in the month of June, so will not be part of my challenge. I bought a Japanese eggplant, Japanese cucumber, Diva cucumber, and honeydew melon. They were 4 for $5. That's not a bad price and there were more than 1 seedling in each little pot.
Tonight, I'm experimenting baking some bread, so I'll talk about that tomorrow.
