Olympia Farmers Market - The Colors of Summer!

Olympia Farmers Market

Olympia Farmer's Market this weekend is full of the colors - and tastes - of summer!  I headed down there with the goal of getting some peaches & nectarines - oh, so many to choose from!!  Luckily you can get tastes of different varieties to decide which one (or ones) you like the very best.

Also admired the peppers and tomatoes - always really seems like true summer when those begin appearing in the market.  Zesty, warm flavors to add some zing to our meals!  Our own tomatoes are coming along, so I didn't buy any today, but did get some salad greens and also some Walla Walla sweet onions.  My husband's favorite summer dish is sliced cucumbers from our garden, chopped up onions and vinegar and water to steep in until they have just the right bite.

I had to capture a photo of the blackberries for sale too.  Every year these seem beyond ironic to me as we have an entire 1/4 mile long driveway absolutely lined with wild blackberries so that we can't pick enough to even make a dent in our own free supply.  Won't need to be buying any of those!

Hurray for Farmer's Market on a warm summer weekend day!  (And when will the sweet corn be arriving?????)

LOVE Farmer's markets!  I just had a fresh fruit salad for lunch! And like you, I have an endless supply of blackberries at home.  I have seen them for $3 a 1/2 pint at the grocery store, can you imagine?

Hi Catherine - your fresh fruit salad is making me hungry!!  And yes, seeing prices on blackberries when we have LOTS always is just strange to me.  We tell all our friends to PLEASE come pick some too.

Thanks Team Honeycutt - I think I may have to go back down though as I passed up buying canteloupe and have still been thinking how good it looked...

We used to get fresh fruit and sherbet for our Sunday after church brunch. All that fruit looks great!
