Krankies’ Farmers Market
Today I finally managed to make it to the Krankies Farmers Market, which is held on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the blocked-off block of Patterson Street directly behind Krankies. I’d been meaning to for awhile, but never seemed to get around to it. Boy, was I was impressed! It was bustling today—helped in no small part (pun intended) by the first-graders on a field trip running around. There were more booths than I expected, and the produce looked uniformly stellar. The lettuces looked particularly bountiful. I picked up a bunch of unblemished multi-colored radishes, some flawless red potatoes, an indulgently gooey sticky bun and a feta-cheese-filled bread pocket. There were so many other options, too—locally made cheeses and butter, bread and pastries (including gluten-free), fresh herbs, tomato plants, mushrooms, homemade soaps, turnips the diameter of small plates, those beautiful lettuces, even wraps and other items for a quick lunch.
I definitely need to check out this market more often!
