| - PICKLES FARMERS MARKET
This review is for the farmer's market held at the gallery Saturdays 8am-2pm. I went to the market with about 24 dollars cash after a yoga class. I arrived a little before noon and did a walk around. The space is not terribly big and there seemed to be about fifteen or so vendors.
For sale were your usual farmer's market items, fruits and veggies, but also farm raised, hormone free chicken and red meat, baked goods, incense, and arts&crafts.
I spent all my money and came away with three cucumbers, a handfull of bite-sized plums, extra large scallions, five potatoes, two fried pies, pecan coffee cake, a mini fruit pie, peaches, homemade butter garlic herb biscuits, and a few beefsteak tomatoes. There was a vendor that sold loose tea, but I ran out of money before I got to him.
I would have liked to have seen more leafy greens since there are so many of them in season at this time. The overall selection was no where close to some of the markets Ive been to, the prices were reasonable. Farmer's markets are all about BUYING LOCAL and as a advocate of the slow food movement, I am just glad that Noda has one!
*I was able to get some better deals having arrived later in day and a couple hours before closing.
