On Thursday, my neighbor and I made the one-hour trip to Raleigh to visit the 7-days-a-week, year-round farmer's market. Please don't misunderstand. I've been to many farmer's markets and road-side stands. I know how good that kind of produce is. I picked my own strawberries twice this strawberry season (and woefully forgot to take photos). But this was a veritable cornucopia of fresh, delicious produce and other fantastic things that I wish were closer. I tried the best tomatoes I have ever had, not to mention the best blueberries and peaches. All will be eaten this weekend and posted soon.
If you have not been to a good farmer's market (I was not really given the privilege until moving to the Carolinas where there are things other than ranches) and one is close, go. It will blow your mind. Peppers that smelled like a pepper without cutting into it. Fresh flowers, organic soap... But I digress. I leave you with these beautiful photos, which I did not edit, in hopes that they will lure you to a farmer's market in your area soon!
