Baltimore City Farmer's Market

Every Sunday from 7 until they are sold out, the Farmer's Market is open for business under the Jones Falls Expressway in downtown Baltimore. It is not just your normal farmer's market, it is more like a carnival, craft show, food market, street food smorgasboard all rolled into one. Besides the great opportunites for people watching there is a feast for the eyes of colors and textures everywhere. The array of seasonal fruits and vegetables is endless. There are organic meat vendors that include chicken, pork, beef, bison and goat. You can buy milk, yogurt and cheese products. There are flower and herb growers. There is honey, homemade jams, nuts, barbecue sauces, pastries, crafts. As for food choices, you can feast on Cajun, Mexican, African American, French, Thai or Nouveau Cuisine. Everytime I go I discover something new. The only problem is that it is becoming so popular that the parking in the area is at a premium and the line for Zeke's coffee gets longer and longer.

Oh so red radishes

I have to get some of this next time.
