So this week the Tacoma Farmers' Market started. It is a wonderful collection of fruit and veg, dairy, fish and meet produce as well as flowers and crafts. www.tacomafarmersmarket.com The produce comes directly from the surrounding area and relflects very heavily the local seasons and trades.
There are lots of Tulip fields which are generally farmed by Vietnamese farmers. Their bouquets are a great mix of cultured and wild flowers.
There wasn't much fruit this week, but that's because it's not fruit season here. There was so much to taste, I was in heaven! Here's a small selction of what I thought was the best:
Terry's Berrys www.terrysberries.com/
Rolf's Choice http://www.kpfarmersmarket.org/110708%20TGiving13.pdf - the most gorgeous deep orange colour, smoked to perfection
Blue Rose Dairy www.bluerosedairy.com Goats cheese heaven :)
Happy Mountain Farm www.minicattle.com for beef of the colour and texture I have never seen before.
Oh, and there was a lady doing Henna tattoos so I had to get one!
Some other cool/interesting/useful things from this week:
Bodum insulated tumblers http://www.bodumusa.com/shop/line.asp?MD=15&GID=87&LID=638&CHK=&SLT=&mscssid=TR7PX1HTPKVU8GSE88E69916VCMC99F6
World Market www.worldmarket.com where we bought heinz beans
REI garage sale www.rei.com where the returns policy is so good, they have used stuff that someone just didnt want or was bored of, or wore for 2 years and the sole started to wear (?!) and they can return it. Then it's sold off at knock-down prices. I got a $60 watch for $8!
