Yay! I love a visit to the farmers market! Glad you endured the sweltering heat to find some yummy goodies. We usually go right when they are opening on Saturday mornings, and I still end up covered in sweat this time of year by the time we leave. Totally worth it, though.
We have a few stores that sound like the first one you went to here, as well. Seems silly that they can call themselves a "farmers market" when nothing is locally grown. Ah well, they serve their purpose. I actually grabbed my first watermelon this past weekend at my market, too! I'm finishing up the peaches from picking last week before I cut into it, though. I can't wait! I've gotten a few rock melons, which are good but nothing beats refreshing watermelon on a summer day for sure. Love your ugly carrots, too!
Thanks so much for jumping on the fruits and veggies bandwagon! If you want to officially enter, feel free to drop your link on the contest post here: https://steemit.com/fruitsandveggiesmonday/@vegansofsteemit/steemit-fruits-and-veggies-monday-competition-special-announcement The only other requirement you didn't hit is to mention the creator @lenasveganliving. No pressure to have to make it official, though, I'm just happy to see people spreading the local produce love on the blockchain! 💚🍒
Oh that's awesome, another contest! I'll put this entry in (a quick edit will work!) and possibly another. Thanks for the pointer!
I have subsequently been pointed to two additional proper farmer's markets, one held Thursday, the other Friday. I'll see if I can carve some time out to visit them, too.
