It's been some time since I visited the Cayucos Farmers' Market.  Each Friday morning (till noon) from May to September, the huge parking lot by the Cayuos Vets' Hall would be taken over by vendors from all over the county. They would be there to tout their fresh produce - lovely greens, roots, custom dressings, fruits and more fruits and not-to-miss goodies to residents and visitors in Cayucos.

The setting was lovely - you could hear the ocean, and look south beyond the pier towards the Morro Rock in Morro Bay.  The weather was beautiful too, this morning.  There's however something wrong with the picture this morning. There were only eight vendors, and not enough patrons. Golly, there were probably more seagulls around.  Is this the sign of the times?

Notwithstanding the selection, I found some tasty treats.  The avocado-cilantro hummus dip was yummy.  I eyed the box of baklava.  The young man told me I could have the big box for $10. I bought it.  I'm afraid I gobbled them all by the evening, that is, except for a few that I shared with my neighbor and left two for the rest of my family. (Yeah, I have a weakness for some sweets!)

Next I visited one of the fruit vendors.  The lovely couple, Dana and Brian were from San Miguel.  They were showcasing the cabernet champagne grapes from their vineyard, and two great selection of Japanese and Korean pears.  The samples were sweet. I bought two bags of the Japanese and Korean pears. I couldn't resist the sweet Granny Smith apples either.

It's always fun to check what's availabe locally, and be out on a sunny day by the beach. I am looking forward to their return next summer.
