I am absolutely in love with my local market that is located just across the street from my apartment. I am very lucky to have a fresh local produce, fish, cheese, and a butcher meat market super close, all within 1 min walking distance. But it amazes me each time I walk into my produce market how much variety they have and how fresh things are all the time. There are so many different types and colors of fruits and vegetables that I didn't even know existed. There are rows of different potatoes, mushrooms, squash, peppers, apples, berries, peaches, pears, tomatoes, green and PURPLE asparagus, melons, lettuce, fresh herbs etc, etc, etc....You can find organic or non-organic and locally farmed or imported. They also carry a lot of specialty items such as sauces, jellies, grains, cooking oils (have you ever heard of using hazelnut oil?), breads, and locally farmed eggs and dairy products. This is also the market that helped us find Three Twins, Lemon Cookie Ice cream, which has become our new favorite!
I don't know what we would do if we lived farther away from this market while still living in the bay area because I think I am pretty attached to my market haha!...as you can probably tell because I am writing a whole blog post just on this market!
It's hard to show what it really looks like inside and the variety that they have but here are a few of the rows of produce.
