IN THE FIELD: You Know It’s Summertime When…
Saturday morning I visited the famers market here in town. It’s not a large market, but there are a nice variety of foods produced by local farmers and merchants.
The goods available included all natural grass fed beef, baked goods of many varieties, jams, jellies, preserved vegetables, eggs, cheeses, and milk straight from the farm with no processing. In addition to all this great food were two produce stands brimming with seasonal vegetables, fruits, berries and flowers.
I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a great foodie summer!
Apricots fresh from the tree that morning
Ahhh corn on the cob
Freshly Picked Tomatoes

I like the play of shadow and light on the apricots. Now I’m hungry 🙂
This was taken under a gazebo and the morning sun was filtering through some tree branches and into the gazebo. Outside of them looking totally delish…the light really caught my eye!
Beautiful corn. 😉
Sure looks yummy!
Yumm…those fresh foods look delicious! Love the light on those apricots too.
And they are…the apricots were picked that morning!
the lighting on the apricots just brings out their warmth and deliciousness and that corn looks so juicy, I can taste it. I like farmers markets, the good food, the rustic labels and the characters that you find there.
I like farmers markets for exactly the same reasons! There is always something to feast one’s eyes on!
probably the only place where I can find a good tasting peach or nectarine. The ones at the grocers taste like wood.
Taste like wood…too funny but you are right!
Fresh apricots…how wonderful but your photo of the fresh corn is something that is calling my name. It looks so fresh!
Kinda makes just want to sink your teeth into those fresh kernels! Oh, and the apricots are so good!
How beautiful… as if I could take one of them 🙂 Thank you, love, nia
Don’t you just love the freshness of markets like this!
Cool photos David! Food is a great subject; the variety and colors make for endless possibilities. Cheers!
Thanks Steve, I have to go back this Saturday…I was so early not all the venders were set up yet. Who knows what photo opportunities I missed!
Excellent images, David.
Thanks Ted, I couldn’t decide which represented the market best…so I posted these four. It was a tough decision with so much to choose from.
These all look good, but oh my, that corn!
Ahhhh…just imagine bathing this ear in warm melted butter and then taking a giant bite! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Hey, David that all looks rather yummy-enjoy 🙂
It sure was/is…I’m going back this weekend for another supply!
Delightful post. I love the light on the apricots; they look luscious!
Thanks Meanderer, I can’t wait until tomorrow to see what’s new at the market. Oh…the apricots…they are luscious!
Great images!! I would have loved to sample some of the Jelly from the first photo 🙂
They do look yummy don’t they…I was there this morning and forgot to stop in their booth. I was focused on the produce today…and cookies, and cheese….
These images are superb! You can almost smell the freshness. I love these kind of markets too.
Thanks Jo, there were even more goodies on display this morning. I’d rather shop in places like this…support the local economy and the folks are just so darn friendly!
Yummy, yummy!!
🙂
Sure is! I was there yesterday and got some more goodies!
The farmers market is great! I like seeing all the fresh produce.
Great shots!
I love these places…everything is so fresh. The all natural no icky processing cheeses are soooooo good! Best part is this market is only a few hundred feet from our place!
LUSCIOUS photos, David. You could be a food photographer! We have a large farmers market that operates every Wed. and Sat.
Aren’t these place the best! It sure has been tasty around here! I’m going to the farm for some raw milk this week…and the farms cheese is sooooooo yummy. The vegetables and fruit have been outstanding…peaches and blueberries this week!
Food photographer….hmmmmmmmm
yum!! My favourite is the sweet corn, looks sooooo yummy 🙂
I know…I love it too! I was at the market yesterday for some farm fresh eggs. Got the eggs, and some veggies, pastries, some fresh meat, nectarines that were just picked, a cantaloupe and some homemade cheese. Yummy fresh food!
