A Trip to the Farmers' Market

It is a beautiful day to go to the market. Shopping bag - check! Water - check! I'm ready to go.

Looks like I'm not the first one to arrive today. Click on any photo to enlarge.

The apple cider looks so pretty in these bottles. It tastes good too.

Summer squash, yum!

Broccoli fresh from the garden.

These peaches are so juicy and sweet. I'm bet they would make a great pie.

Pick up some fresh milled flour for the pie crust.

And of course no trip to our farmers' market would be complete without Sweet Walla Walla Onions. Fresh from the field.

It's really hot! A nice glass of fresh lemonade would really hit the spot. Looks like Ethan is open for business. What a great way to end my trip to the market. Click on photo to enlarge.

Yum, Judy.... There's nothing better than a trip to the Farmer's Market... The ones I have been to have never been quite as fancy as yours though...

Love to have that squash and onions.... I can almost taste them...

Hugs,

I certainly love going to market especially during summer when almost fruits are in season and veggies looks so fresh! Btw I like your market bag, very earth friendly not like those disposable plastic bags. I have never seen long squash ours are all rounded but I bet the taste is just the same. Thanks for sharing, and a nice glass of lemonade is so refreshing!

Thank you so much friend for linking me up, I just came home from the countryside.

Tried and tested, farmers' produce are the best! I will get mine ready within today!

Love that shopping basket on your first shot. Is your basket big enough to get the produce you want? (joke)
