Okay, so let me just up front apologize for the quality of these photos. I cannot believe I am about to do an entire post, replete with photos taken with my iPhone. I’m afraid that I will have my blogging license revoked. Please don’t quit me. It’s just that I didn’t have my camera with me, and this farmer’s market is too beautiful to miss an opportunity to share it with you. It’s called Oak Street Farmers’ Market and it’s the most quaint little market I have ever visited. Part of the charm is that it is located right in the middle of Crestline Village next door to the police station and across the street from the library.
Oak Street Farmers’ Market is constructed from wood and corrugated tin and old windows and red paint. It is filled with hand painted images of corn and watermelons and basil and geraniums and eggplants and huge red patio umbrellas. It has the most gorgeous and lush flowers and bedding plants and the most interesting selection of produce. They carry the standards like corn, green beans, and peaches, but they also carry shallots and other interesting items that we don’t get in the produce section of Walmart. I wanted to come up with a recipe using shallots just so I could buy these gorgeous things!
