Mountain View Farmer’s Market

The Sweet One and I have a Sunday ritual. After a tasty breakfast lovingly she prepares, today low carb pancakes amd coffee from Hawaii, we head over to the award-winning Mountain View Farmer’s Market. Not only do we get a variety of lettuces for our lunches, we also usually buy hardy green veggies like bok choy, kale, and broccoli. And since tomorrow is a pot luck lunch at the office, she put together some fresh-picked ingredients for a salad. Here she is getting the cherry tomatoes The Sweet One picks tomatos
Piles of tasty fungus One of my favorite vendors at the market is the mushroom man. Unlike some of the stands I never noticed a name sign for this one, so I have my own pet name. Here he’s seen waiting for a woman to hand over the money, presiding over luscious piles of fungus, of which I’ve bought a bagful already. There’s always some live, generally acoustic, music at the market, this morning provided by a very eccentric looking woman, or, on second thought, a woman dressed as a green witch for Halloween.

There would have been more photos but someone’s digital camera ran out of battery power.

Do you take advantage of your local farmer’s market?
