Farmers' Market Photos
Come On In
Early Birds... be nice and let the good people finish setting up. Usually you will find a general info booth at the entrance -- Columbia City has a vendor list, red wagons for shopping carts, and swag for sale.
Locally Grown Tomatoes
Nothing like them.
Local Bands
Live music from local bands is common at the market. Usually accoustic and always appreciative of tips.
Pickles and Pickled Things
Local Farmers and Vendors often have preserved foods -- in this case pickled asparagus. Jams, pickles, and other preserved foods are common.
Salad Onions
When items run scarce in the super market, try the farmers' markets. At the time we took these pictures, it was getting hard to find salad onions at our grocery store. Here the table runneth over.
Beef and Lamb
Most markets have organic proteins for sale.
Fish Too!
Loki sells in-season fish.
It's All Fresh
Compare all you want, it's all fresh.
Don't Wait Too Long
Items do sell out. If you see something you want, grab it while you can.
Organic Fruit
Most farmers bring vegetables. Tiny's Organics specializes in fruit.
Snacks and Food To Go
Some markets have food stands. Fresh tamales are available every week in Columbia City
Organics Abound
Farmers at the market follow organic procedures.
Fresh Dried Pintos
Pintos that have avoided the cellar... worth their weight in gold.
