Osterville is the summer home to some familiar neighborhood bloks like the Heinz, the Kraft, Bill…read moreGates attorney, you know your average joe/joelles. Thus expect the farmers market to be at a special caliber. But APPROACHABLE.
ITS GORGEOUS! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I'm not going into all the vendors because I'll be here all morning, and I'm hungry. But I will tell you that the berries, tomatoes, quiche ($75 for 2, so bring your kids tuition with you), the baked goods... just superb. Beautiful flowers. And the Osterville Historical Museum is open to the shoppers. BONUS! I went nuts grabbing everything I could until a ping on my phone said "honey, I think the card company needs to raise our spending limit" AND I was grabbing so many sweets, I felt a small guilt attack... Well, I got over that quickly...
Everything is just beautiful, quality crafted, lots of love put into the produce and products. I was a bit unkind to the poor granola ladies who were so proud that their product is "glutten free, no sugar, etc." (it was ok, bland as all get out, but if you live in the hoity world of elite botox, Vineyard Vines, everyone wants to live to 100 looking 25... you'll understand the push)... I'm like "I'm sorry ladies but I like sugar, fat, alcohol, etc..." as I sampled the dry and bland cranberry granola (bless their hearts). I should have kept my trap shut. They're like "You're so lucky to not care and be able to enjoy those things" (back handed compliment, but I deserved it). Listen people, we are ALL going to die anyway and I doubt I will live to 100... to each their own. I just need to wear my chakras well and not be so rude. They were beautifully thin, tanned and healthy and proud of their product (it's good, just not for me).
Throwbacks are parking and ANGRY people. Jeeze. Shoppers and some of the vendors are just ANGRY, and politely rude. But that can happen when "white rich" congregate (NOT ALL PEOPLE, but a big chunk of them - you don't see this in Newburyport or other lower key farmers markets).
Overall, it's beautiful, full of delicious and wonderful things, and some people from out our way were having a joyful time. Friday 9-2, Jun 4-Oct 1. You're welcome. Because if you can ignore the angry birds, you are in for a treat! ITS BEAUTIFUL!
