Today, our high temperature was 51, and we are supposed to be in the low 60's tomorrow. The Otsiningo outdoor farmers market is gone for the years so we visited a market in Vestal, NY that we normally don't go to. There were only four tables but I encouraged my spouse to give it a try, and I am so glad we did.
Thank you, Sue Garig, of Honey & Garlic in Kirkwood, NY for allowing me to take these pictures.
And also honey brittle in three varieties: peanut, walnut, and slivered almond. (it was very good, but a bit hazardous for people with lots of fillings)
From another vendor, we bought some swiss chard that will be going into a soup.
From still another vendor we bought a dozen eggs.
Other items for sale included apples, turnips and turnip greens, cauliflower, mint, and winter squash.
If you are in a cold clime and still have outdoor farmers markets, give them a shot even if they look sparse. You'll be glad you did.
Looks like a fragrant and tasty trip! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love farmers' markets but don't go as much anymore. We have an organic garden and grow almost all the things we love. I do have to buy corn, oranges and honey though which I get from local growers. It's wonderful to live in a semi rural area with ranches and farms.
