Farmer's Market

One of the delights of Sacramento is the many Farmer's Markets we have in the area.  Certified Farmers' Markets at http://www.california-grown.com/Market-times.html lists 10 dates/locations in the Sacramento area. Many of these are open year round and the rest will all be opening sometime this month.

This Saturday we visited the one at the Country Club Shopping Plaza.  Even before we entered the market we were welcomed by a guitar duo.

Quite often we'll buy fresh bread there.  One of our favorites is squaw bread, now politically renamed "Native Grains" bread.

A man at one of the booths was explaining how to peel, cook, and eat fava beans so Carolyn bought a pound and tried it out.  The flavor and texture aren't bad but it sure seems like a lot of work to get the inside beans.
