When the white awnings pop up in a mall parking lot, it's a happy sight. Underneath the awnings , hard-working farmers sell just about every yummy item under the sun.
At this time of the summer, sweet corn is coming into view. One farmer's sign read that the cobs had been picked at 6 that morning. Mmm mmm mmm. Visions of boiled corn, spread with butter and salt, propelled me to buy a half dozen.
How about fresh tomatoes for a perfect summer treat? Sliced thick with a hunk of mozzarella cheese, chopped basil, and an olive oil drizzle all sound good to me. No way do winter tomatoes even seem like part of the same family.
One recent day, a table full of lovely flowers, like the ones shown at the top of this post, tempted the eye. They were so pretty and colorful.
What will this weekend's farmers market bring? Small tender yellow squash? Glistening blackberries? Fresh brown eggs with yolks so fresh they are orange instead of yellow? Well, maybe all of the above and more, much, much more.
WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF FARMERS MARKETS FOR YOU?
