Farmers' Markets

Perhaps its the skeptic in me, but I'm a little suspicious of Farmers' Markets.  I suspect they are not such a great deal and I'm not too sure about their quality either.  However, ours does sell some great produce and you can get it from people who speak real Mexican too!

Every Tuesday, we go along and buy certain items of produce.  The strawberries are incredible at $5 for a triple punnet - is that even a word recognised in America?  There are also a number of arts and crafts stalls.  We usually manage to avoid those, and stick to the vegetables.

One of the nice things about the Farmers' market is that you can take your dogs along.  It's a bit of a strain as our two are not normally very sociable with other dogs, but here, they do behave quite well.  As long as we keep them well away from the other dogs strolling about with their owners.  You meet all kinds here and the other day there were two that were a cross between English Bulldog and Basset.  Frankie and Johnny were interested.

It's good training for them and also for us!
