I received no compensation for this post. I just love farmers markets, especially well-organized events that go out of their way to make it a special time for individuals and families.
Farmers Market in Portland OR |
Farmers markets are part
of ancient Egyptian history. Farmers would grow crops along the Nile and bring
fresh produce to nearby towns to sell. Now the event takes place around the
world. Some sell foods exclusively or include assorted goods.
Dane County Farmers Market, Madison WI |
Markets in the US consist of tents and tables lined on
either side of the street or in a market square. Some areas sponsor indoor farmers markets to
provide shelter from very hot or very rainy weather.
Stroud Gloucestershire England Farmers Market |
The farmers market in Fallon, NV is a friendly, family event
held at 925 W Williams Ave every Tuesday afternoon between 5 and 8 pm from June
through August. Local and organic produce is offered. Some booths feature local
crafts, while others serve up delicious food and cold beverages. Entertainment
varies, but is always well-received.
Face-painting for the kids is a popular draw.
Talbot Farmers Market |
Fallon is known for its delicious cantaloupe. Zucchini
squash, deep green cucumbers, and other fresh, locally-grown veggies are an
impressive site. Nectarines, grapes, and plums are among the fruit grown
throughout Nevada and California and brought to Fallon for the summer Tuesday
sales.

Is there a local farmers market in your area? What is your favorite item?
You have better farmer's markets than we do. We have a big on in Boston called Haymarket, on the weekends, but it;s a ZOO, so I almost never go.
ReplyDeleteI live in Georgia. We're all our own farmer's markets down here. I think we have one a little north of us, though.
