A Trip To The Market

I am so happy that the Farmer's Markets have opened for the summer. Not many locally grown veggies just yet but there will be very soon. However, the Market in Smithfield is always fun to go to regardless of what time of year.

the crowd is beginning to meander about the various booths. Music is being played by a local musician. It's a party atmosphere. 

This place really caught my eye. Maybe my sweet tooth was making itself known.

Yes, I think this was what I was craving!! 

I stopped by one booth that sold organic dried herbs and a few potted fresh ones. I bought some cilantro. The salesman gave me a small bouqet of fresh oregano. Wasn't that nice of him?

And, who could forget to pick up some of these home-grown strawberries? Not me!! The season will soon be over. I don't want to regret having not gotten as many of the sweet berries as I want this spring.

What brought the most humor out was these bottles of 'Bacon Soda'. Don't ask me what it tastes like 'cause I don't know. Smithfield is the home of Smithfield Bacon (among other pork products) so it could just have the name attached to something like pepsi or any other soda. I didn't buy any. 

Do you have a local farmer's Market? What is your favorite thing to buy?
