One of my favorite weekend pastimes is going to farmers markets. We have a number of good farmers markets, but Denver’s South Pearl<\/strong> Street Sunday market is a great one!<\/strong> Marla has been feeling stronger, so she loves to go now. <\/strong> As a bonus, Logan came along as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The farmers market denizens are primarily millennials and of course their dogs.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marla bought some succulents. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And yes, I am helping to “heal the world”<\/strong> with Marsha’s delicious cookies!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We look like serious shoppers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Logan likes to shop at his favorite places like “Voodoo Donuts.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We are waiting for our “green drinks”<\/strong> at a healthy food truck.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We love the musicians at the market!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I always arrive about 20 minutes before opening for one reason,…I need to get in line at “Rebel Bread.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At 15 minutes before opening, I was sixth in line with 25 people lined up behind me!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another fabulous farmers market is at the Ferry Building in San Francisco on a Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our friends Philippe and Kathy took us to one of their favorite markets on Rue Poncelet in Paris’ 17th arrondissement. It was bustling with fabulous gastronomic goodies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Markets in the South of France are very good as they always have very fresh products!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m picking up a few things while in Villefrance sur Mer.<\/strong> We always have an apartment with a kitchen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We have been going to the wonderful Marche Forville in Cannes for years!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Marla’s shopping bag is getting heavy!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you rent a condo on the Big Island, you must visit one of Waimea’s farmers markets on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where to begin?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We get sidetracked by stalls selling orchids!<\/strong><\/strong> My brother Gary joined us this time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gary samples some island jams.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lunch in Waimea with David Purcell, the husband of a good high school friend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

COVID issues closed down a few markets in Waimea in 2021, so we went to a very small farmer’s market outside of town. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I call it fresh when it was pulled out of the ground 25 feet away!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
