Farmers' Market


Usually when I visit the downtown Farmers' Market on Saturday or Sunday, I overbuy and come home with more vegetable than we can possible use and eat. On Friday I decided to go to a satellite market held on a church parking lot. There was less variety and fewer vendors, but I came home with...guess what? Too many vegetables...more than we can eat! People watching was also abundant!

  1. This is such a natural shot and I like the soft light cast by the tent. She has such a nice smile I'd have bought too many veggies off her too.

    I think it must be the same everywhere. We have a farmer's market in the shopping center parking lot on Tuesdays and Saturdays and when we buy there we end up eating the same thing for a long time. Like green beans.

    Nice photo of the lady.

    Doesn't everything look so good at a farmer's market? Not only the vegies and fruit but the homemade breads and jams. Yum. How could we NOT overbuy :)

    in the late summer we have many dinners that are nothing more than sweet corn and green beans and tomatoes. perhaps tonight...

  7. Even though we have the big Farmers' Market downtown, we still have little markets all around the area.

    I just bought Heirlooms and Bradleys at the Market the other day. . . . LOVE them!

  8. During my look back at your photos I really like the people pictures & this one, with the expression, is my favorite.

  9. Kate,
    I come home with the opposite problem. I get so engrossed in photographing the veggies, the dogs , their owners, the live music, that i came home with nary a tomato or peach last time. That's just crazy.

  10. It is always difficult to pass up all the wonderfully fresh fruits and vegetables, especially that grown locally. I think it's because we know it is short-lived and soon we will be back to greenhouse tomatoes and imported things that were picked green. This is a very nice candid shot.
