On a recent Saturday morning I looked out the window of our hotel room to see that much of the parking lot had been converted to a large bustling farmers market, one of the many weekly markets in and around San Luis Obispo.
After breakfast I headed out to see what they had to offer.
I can hardly believe that I will now have the luxury of fresh, locally grown produce available to me at markets such as this year round!
In the East we eagerly await the opening of the farmers markets in May for the summer, only to find ourselves saying goodbye to them in October until the following spring.
I love the idea of farm to table cooking year round! Another reason why I can’t wait for our house to be completed so I can start feeling at home in my new kitchen.
Being that I am in the hotel now I had to restrain myself from buying all that I wanted to.
For now I’ll have to be content with the peaches, plums, romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and the bouquet of colorful zinnias that I bought.
