How come Farmer’s Market here doesn’t have more fresh fruit sold? They have more sugary deserts and tons of fresh herbs to cook with but no fruits like Tony’s. Then again, prices might go thru the roof..

Are you sure you’re not thinking of the Winter Farmer’s Market? Because of course those aren’t going to have fresh fruit; the whole point of the farmer’s market is to be able to buy fresh, locally grown produce. Not much fruit growing in Washington in the Winter. Wait ’til late Spring and into Summer… you’ll see plenty of fresh fruit! Mmm, I can almost taste those pluots and peaches.

Yeah…I’m talking about the spot across from theat dump the Hamm buliding were they hold it in the parkinmg lot next to KeyBank in the summertime. Hardly any fresh fruit last year. Lots of house plants for sale too. I can’t eat those.

I spent all last summer at the WS farmers market and came home with tons of fruit. I did find, however, that often things like the berries sold out early in the day. Jiggers, are you going in the last hour maybe?

Jiggers April 24, 2007 (10:12 am)

I’m not into Berries. I didn’t see any like fresh Peaches,Plums or Oranges. Maybe I better open my eyes more this year. But then again, it will be more expensive than going to Safeway or Tony’s. I’m not into spending an arm and a leg for a piece of fruit either.

Jigger…doubt if you’ll be finding any locally grown oranges at the Farmer’s Market :) There are other places to go for fresh produce besides Tony’s if you don’t mind going over the bridge. There is a place – not sure of the name – on Beacon Hill up Columbia Way that has some of the best produce – and prices – in the area…
