More photos:
And we have one more great Farmers' Market, this one is from Bellingham, WA. You simply must take a look as the Bellingham Mayor throws out the first cabage of the season. Visit DJan at D-Jan-ity for some great photos and story.
Hi everyone, we have a new market from the Philippines. Al at Caramel Macchiato has posted photos for the challenge. This is a great market, be sure to take a look at her great photos.
Lynn at Musings from the Texas Hill Country also has photos of her local produce and other good stuff, great photos. Be sure to go over and take a look.
Kate at The Holdfast Seeker has a post called "Eating locally: the CSA farm share" Be sure to check it out.We have new addition, visit Honeygo Beasley and see lots of fresh from the farm goodies.
If you want to show us your local produce leave me a comment and I will add your blog to the list. I will be doing this challenge again on July 25th so mark your calendar and get ready.
Walla Walla, WA Farmers' Market
While our Walla Walla Farmers' Market is just getting started there are still lots of goodies for everyone.
Lots of flowers everywhere either ready to hang or you can buy individual plants.
Cherries of course, fresh picked and sweet.
Strawberries, yummy!
Greens of all varieties, very fresh.
And do not forget to pick up some garlic whistles. It's the top part of the garlic plant.
Maybe get a plant to grow at home.
If you do not want to make your own preserves just pick up a jar or two in your favorite flavor.

After a hot day of shopping about a cold lemonade?
Before you leave remember to pick up a basket of flowers.As I said earlier, why buy your food from some other place when you can support your local farmers. This practice is also good for our environment. For more information go to Reduce Footprints and see how you can participate in the Change The World Wednesday's Challenge.

You have the fanciest farm market I've ever seen! Things are a lot plainer here...
The Walla Walla market looks fabulous!! I can taste the cherries, the lemonade sounds very good, I want some flowers, and I'll take a jar of preserves. :D
Sorry, but in my haste to get my photos up I forgot to link back to you. I've remedied that.
I really like farmer's markets. My parents both came from farming families, so we would always go to places like this.
Wonderful photos. You inspire me, I am going to go this week.

I like the strawberries yum yum, I like cherries um um, I like the jams!
Are those petunia flowers?
I have to go the market and take some pictures! Bye

Terrific subject! Eating locally is one of the very best things we can do and this applies to all and everywhere it's possible. A movement regarding this started some years ago and we can be refered to as "locavores". Very lovely photos... always a pleasure to drop by!
Judy may I post pictures too? I have photos of farmers market but not recently, would that be okay?
AL
Al,
yes, that would be great. When you get them posted let me know and I wll add a link to here.

Looks wonderful - I can taste those cherries!
There's a farmer's market in our nearest town but it's only held once a month.
Hi, I'm posting my veggie photos and so forth on my blog for you to see!
When I am Rich,
Can you have some photos by the 25th of July, I'm going to do it again?
Honeygo,
That would be great, let me know when and I will add your link.

This makes me hungry and eager to smell some nice flowers.
I love farm grown fruits and vegetables; this is the last weekend of our cherries in Leona Valley. The flowers looked so fresh and beautiful!
These look gorgeous. Reminds me of the Farmers' markets in Portland, Oregon that we used to go to when my parents lived there. Everything looked and tasted so good.
SQ: That is a neat lookk at that great market.
They all looked so wonderful. Thanks for hosting.
I think I've told you we grow our own cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, melons, corn, green beans, and chives. We also have hens for fresh eggs. We sell the extras on a table by the barn.
I saw some beets and now I want to grow them too! Yum. Bunny's ate my rhubard! Every year we add a little more to the mix.
Nothing like really fresh vegetables. Oh, I almost forgot... Last year Hubby sold some of our beans to the local Fulmer's grocery store.
I'm getting inspired - will have to get up early some Saturday morning to take a run into Austin for one of its farmer's market.
This such a great idea for a challenge -- see other parts of the country...and world!
Wow. How appealing everything looks. I wish I could pull those cherries right through the screen. :-)
Gorgeous! What a fantastic idea to share these photos.
Great idea to share these photos about products from local farmers. The problem is the farmers in my part of the country are cattle farmers. So there is cheese and other dairy products. They deliver milk directly to the milk factory. The reason that we have only cattle farmers is that the west of the Netherlands is too wet to grow vegetables or grain.
What a fun idea. Okay ... I'm going to bring my camera with me, the next time I shop at the market, and then, I'll post about it. That will tie in nicely with an Eco-friendly reminder to eat local!
Thanks, SQ!

Judy,your market looks so clean and fresh,i'll take part nxt time.I think local farmers should be supported....they are so fresh.enjoyed the tour.
We don't have a Farmer's Market where I live. Just small vegetable stands on the corners near people's homes. Wish I had one, though. They look like a cool place to visit.
Yes our farmers market is very small. You have a fantastic one.
I like to join your Farmers Market but I do not know how it works.You don't have any Mister Link?
