There really is something magical about a good farmers market. Something in the combination of a saturday morning, sunshine, being outdoors, and surrounding yourself with families, music, and fresh food goodness that really feels good to the soul.
This saturday morning we went to the Wilson Park Farmers Market in Torrance. I am a frequenter of this fantastic farmers market, it's a decent size, there's quite a bit of variety in the fruits & veggies for sale, and they have an AWESOME food court area where they sell things from Peruvian sandwiches to roasted corn and kick ass breakfast burritos! There's literally something for everyone.
Yesterday morning we decided to partake in some fresh corn tamales, a twisted garlic potato on a stick, and some Hawaiian donuts. All in all it was a great turnout, we left with 2 bags filled with fruit & snacks (and our full bellies) and only spend about $40.
Some people might consider that a pretty penny, but I feel like supporting local growers is well worth the cost! Plus, it gets you out and mingling with your neighbors in the sunshine... Not a shabby way to start your saturday!
