A growing trend at certain farmer's markets around the nation. Hopefully there will come a day when all markets will accept EBT cards from those on SNAP assistance.

Love. This. We need this in Sacramento!

Love the variety of colors, especially the light blue ones!

Cutest Employee of the Month EVER.

Ahhh, at last I have found the Bolani stand!

Mmmm... spinach bolani...

Some of Bolani's incredible cheeses & spreads. That jalapeño jelly is phenomenal!

Fun display outside one of the many restaurants surrounding the market.

Sunny, juicy & sweet as candy...

Technicolor rainbow chard...

It's like a little forest of funghi!

Spring has most definitely sprung!

All the colors of the rainbow, root veggie style...

I still can't get over how crazy bright red these cherry tomatoes were!

Onions, onions, everywhere...

Mandarins!

These were awfully tempting...

As were these beauties... so ready to be dipped in garlicky melted butter!

Funghi Forest, take 2. They were just too cute to leave alone!

Lovely fresh flower bouquets...

More fresh young onions...

There are simply no words for such beauty...

The best olive oil in Sacramento...

No matter how small or large they may be, tomatoes always bring a smile to my face.

A little on the spendy side, but it was nice to see these in bouquets and not steam-filled plastic bags...

All chicken should be this lucky...

First time seeing these at the farmer's market: sprouted Mung beans!

Care for a piece?

Reminds me of the (possibly straight to DVD) movie, Woman on Top

It was hard to resist buying these...

As if his accent weren't charming enough, his smile enchants even the tiniest farmer's market customers...

So there!

I just love the name "Dapple Dandy Pluot"...

Bacchia Beans

I loved watching his wizened old face while he peeled the thorns off of the cactus leaves...
