I am a huge fan of fresh produce from mom n pop markets... This is DEFINITELY a lil mom n pop produce market. I stopped here to check out what they had on my way to the coffee shop right up the road.
The first thing I noticed was that ALL of their produce looked better than what you will find in MOST grocery stores. There are not HUGE amounts of each item but there is enough for those of us that are picky about our produce. I liked the fact that they labeled everything with the place of origin for for each item. That was refreshing to see.
After leaving the coffee shop I returned to get a few items that I needed for a salad I planned to make this evening and some of those beautiful zucchini and yellow squash. I also grabbed a few apples for me and some nectarines for the wife.
We just finished dinner and used the cucumber, a zucchini and both peppers in the salad and I have to say... They were great. I also sliced up one of the yellow squash and ate it raw and it was also very tasty. I am very pleased with the quality of the produce I grabbed on the fly and will definitely be returning here even though it is a wee bit further than the other markets I frequent for produce.
I will make sure to take some pictures of the place the next trip. I was in a hurry and just grabbed what I needed in hopes of beating the rush hour traffic. I did however take a picture of what I bought there today... read more
