reasons why I love the farmers market

One of my favorite things to do in September is visit the farmers markets near our house. There's a really good one about ten minutes away from us in East Greenwich that I try to go to each week. (We went yesterday, but these photos are all from last week.) I took a few shots of everything we went home with, all from Barden Family Orchard in North Scituate.

candy colored cherry tomatoes - perfect sliced in half, sprinkled with sea salt, and on top of cottage cheese

white raspberries - a novelty! We ate them all before we even left the market.

yellow peaches - delicious in a smoothie or just as they are

A few more things that make me love this market in particular:
1. There's a playground on the other side of a big grassy hill from the market, so after we shop Ezra can play for a while.
2. Tallulah's Tacos, a food truck selling, you guessed it, tacos! Made with ingredients sourced from Rhode Island farms, of course. Might I recommend ordering the carnitas taco. 
3. Seven Stars is there selling all manner of delicious baked goods. I picked up a baguette last night for a special lunch I plan on making this week.

Do you have a favorite farmers market I should visit?

  1. I'm on a total peach kick this fall - glad they're still in season!

    1. I know! I'd love to make some peach raspberry jam before the season's over.
