End of Winter Farmer's Market by Tomato Duck



Here are a few more pics from the trip Duck Mama and I took to our Farmer's Market yesterday. We are lucky enough to have a year round, indoor farmer's market. Pickle and I go often in the warmer months, but I'm sorry to say this was one of our first trips during this cold weather.

My first stop was to get a cup of coffee. Then the cute kitty cookies were calling our name ( pictured above) that Pickle was almost to proud of to eat. Almost.

Here is a sneaky pic I took of Duck Momma and Goose that I snapped at the spice stall.



  

We also picked up some yummy cheese and some apples. I am looking forward to going back soon and often and I loved getting to spend the day with Duck Momma!

Yesterday was Farmers Market day. We love our Farmers Market, it is really great to support local business, farmers, and artisans. Plus its just a lot of fun. This time of year is sort of the limbo point, its not really any season so the produce is a little more sparse but spring is coming and everything will start popping up!
I love finding fresh local produce, it almost always tastes better and can sometimes save you a bit.

We had some lovely finds though. I visited one of my favorite places on earth, Sweet Street Spices. They have such variety and make it so affordable, which is good thing because I have trouble controlling myself there. This time garlic, majoram, onion powder, cayanne pepper, corriander, and caraway seeds came home with me. I also found some beautiful heriloom carrots (which turned into goodies for Goose and glazed carrots for Momma and Daddy) and leeks!
Tomato Momma found crisp apples and tasty cheeses. Yum!

Even though it was a little empty this time, the sights and smells were delicious and we can't wait for next time!
One of my purchases, Heirloom Carrots. . . More on these to come.  . .
