Judy, AKA Squirrel Queen of The Road to Here, hosts this Farmers’ Market Challenge. The purpose of this challenge is to raise awareness for purchasing locally produced foods. Be it fruits, vegetables, dairy products or related items we want to know what’s available where you live.
Every Thursday, the downtown Farmers’ Market located just a block away from work is my where I hang out during my lunch break. The place is so busy serving breakfast and early lunch specials.
The market is a favorite of a lot of office workers in the downtown area.
One of my favorites are the strawberries. Although the season is over, they still have this organically grown from San Bernardino, that’s what my favorite vendor said. They cost $2 per basket and 3 for $5 if you buy in bulk. Honestly, they taste so sweet. Yes, free sample taste test!
I don’t know how these two workers stand the summer heat preparing he kettle corn to satisfy our sweet taste. I buy this every other week.
I bought this last Thursday at $2 each head. Pretty reasonable. I served this at dinner time with shrimp and chicken tenders mixed with red bell peppers and carrots. I added oyster sauce to give flavor.
Since 9/11, the building management has been very strict with photography. But I manage to take a few photos. I can only do it from a distance.
Until the next challenge!
