This afternoon, we headed to Lake Forest Park for their Sunday Farmer's Market. The day was cool and overcast, and we wore jackets for the first time in weeks. This Sunday market is well-attended, and we had to park the truck and then walk to the event.
It's a wonderful market with locally-grown produce from Monroe and Duvall farms, and I am always amazed at the colors of the fruits and vegetables in mid-summer. They are beautiful! There were varieties of turnips and tomatoes and peppers I had never seen before, and cherries and aprocots and all types of berries, even red huckleberries. It was difficult to choose what we wanted to take home, but we carefully made our selections and will be consulting our Farmer's Market Cookbook when we get home.
I'm going to make a salsa from the heirloom tomatoes I found today, and we'll probably eat the Bing Cherries on the way home. Perhaps I can make one more batch of freezer jam out of the apricots...
We stopped at the Harvest Bread store on the way out, and sampled the Cinnamon Chip loaf and the Country White bread. Mmmm.....yummy!
