One of my favorite things to do anytime, anywhere, if it is a possibility, is visit the local farmer’s market. Not only can you get reasonable (and often excellent) prices on local fruits, vegetables, flowers, artisan breads, pastries etc., you get to see and sample a variety of things that grow in the area! I am sorry to say that my favorite cheese vendor had already left for the season (only 2 weeks to go). But not to worry, what I didn’t get to spend on stinky cheeses I more than made up for in savory sausages! The whole experience is really “mommy time” where I can slow down… and smell the roses.
I enjoy the whole adventure. Some things look familiar…
And some things look completely exotic!
I love to see how the vendors set up their stands.
And I’m a sucker for trying local roasters and honey…
Thank you Marco Island Farmer’s Market! …Until we meet again. 🙂
And a quick shout-out for my favorite olive oil by Moz!
Farmer’s markets are so much fun – and we need to support our local farmers! Thanks Sadie! 🙂
Thank you Terry! And look at your picture! I have some catching up to do! 🙂
Yes, much exposing took place this past week! 🙂
What a wonderful Farmers Market!
It really is nice, my mother-in-law took me for the first time last year. Now it’s our thing! 😉
I can certainly see why!! Very nice!
Thank you! Where is this actually? And Jack Fruit! Wow! Did you get some?
I did not get the Jack fruit, but I enjoyed looking at many of that vendors exotic fruits! The market is right on the island, across from the Winn Dixie.
This looks so fun, what a great tradition! Seems like you guys got to do a lot this trip:)
We like to pack in as much as we can, lol!
Farmer’s markets…a way of life in my family forever. Not sure how we’d eat without them. Good timing. I wrote a post this a.m. about losing a favorite Amish vendor in our market. They become such good friends over the years. ?
It is such a loss when we lose our favorite vendors! I love our markets at home too, unfortunately the local markets are seasonal. Thanks van! I’m looking forward to catching up with my blogging friends on Monday!
I hope you are bringing me some of that liquid gold!!!
Oh, I got something for you!
?
What beautiful food. I am looking forward to when the farmer’s market will open around me.
Me too!
I can’t wait for our seasonal farmer’s market to open!
I’m so excited!

I can imagine! I love seeing the produce and flowers, too bad you missed the cheese!

I love farmer’s markets. They are treasure troves. I used to love going to the one in Guildford when I lived in the UK. I always had to buy a thing or two. I just couldn’t help it! 🙂
I understand completely! 😉 Thanks Roberta! Nice to see you!
Love the pictures Sadie! I am drooling over those tomatoes! The Farmer’s Market is so fun, but I always come home with way too much 😀
Thanks Antonia 🙂 I know what you mean, and then it’s a mad dash to try and use it all up before it spoils!
Such beautiful photos and colors! Those tomatoes look so ripe and juicy!
The market was so much fun! (Forget amusement parks!)
