June always means lots of wonderful fruits and vegetables--the kind that are really best grown locally, and in season, like peaches and tomatoes. What better place to explore the bounty of the month than the farmers' market? Last weekend I went to Sunset Valley to buy a few things, but mostly just to admire what the farmers had grown.
Entry to the market, 10 AM
Corn, tomatoes, basil, cucumbers
Squash, peaches
Beets, squash
Bell peppers, squash
Onions
Cabbage, carrots
Squash! (under a yellow awning)
Mushrooms
About half of the vendors at the market are farmers; the other half sell hand-made goods, or prepared foods. This vendor, Empanadas La Boca, always has tempting pizzas and baked goods.
However, I was more in the mood for a mango-chile popsicle.
Just the right mix of sweet and salty
Ahhh, refreshing on a hot morning :)
