Our Farmers Market

Looking down the trellis

We've been spending a little time on Saturday mornings riding the Vespa down to the Vinyard Farmers Market. It's not nearly as big as the Santa Fe Farmers Market, which might be a surprise since we're in the middle of all this agriculture, until you realize there is a Farmer's Market in almost every part of town nearly every day of the week. In Clovis? That's Friday night. Our area? Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings. The tower district, etc.

There are the usual vegetables, there is an apiarist with some killer honeycomb, an italian bakery with bread and cheeses, a Raw Milk vendor, and an old Asian women with the craziest mushrooms I have ever seen. There is also an abundance of grapes.

Tiffany got the coffee roaster talking about his beans, his process, and how he brews Toffee Coffee. His business is almost entirely taking his cart around to all the Farmers Markets in the area and roasting for a couple of small shops in town.

So far we have had some amazing "braided" string cheese, Raw Milk is tasty and doesn't make me all sick, and some wonderful produce. A must stop for anyone coming through town.
