The Farmer's Market is the only good reason to be up early on a Saturday morning. And I do mean early. I mean, like, 7 a.m. Get there much later than that and you have to contend with throngs of slightly dazed people, and a lot more women pushing strollers that you inevitably trip over.
Do yourself a big favor and stop at the Oakhouse Bakery tent for *amazing* scones and other such pastries. Get your cured meat fix at the D&G tent, where incredible beef jerky abounds. Hook's Cheese is another favorite of mine, with many varieties of aged cheddar and jack.
There is just so damn much to taste and see and smell. It's like a party for the senses, and everyone's invited.
