The family was in Davis, CA this summer for my niece’s wedding. Dorothy and I took a walk on Saturday morning and came upon the Davis Farmer’s Market. We’d just had a nice breakfast snack at a sidewalk cafe, otherwise I’d have sampled quite a few items here.

The fruit looked absolutely wonderful and the vegetables were perfect. There is a large farming community in the area and this farmer’s market has an excellent reputation and is well attended.

There were many families in attendance and there was certainly something for everyone.

It was hard to just walk through and not do any shopping.

These peppers would have been perfect for our boys … always on the prowl for something hotter and spicier.
