Food wise… this past week was pretty boring around here. Pasta, fried rice, pizza, waffles, homemade soup for dinner, I think I made something with chicken… you know, the usual stuff. I stocked my pantry really well last week so there wasn’t really any reason for me to set foot in a grocery store. In fact, I was planning on doing a “no spend” week… but then The Girl and I decided to take a trip out to Bainbridge Island.
Our first stop was to the Bainbridge Island Farmer’s Market. And I’m a little embarrassed to admit this, but it was also my first trip a farmers market this season. Oops. Oh well, better late than never, right?
I was hoping to find some heirloom tomato plants for the garden, but I didn’t see anyone with the varieties I was after {Cherokee, Black Krim, Pineapple, Japanese Trifle, Sun Gold}.
But we did find some homemade bread. Which, is pretty much my favorite thing to buy at a farmers market. It’s funny, never in a million years would I lay down $8 for a loaf of bread at a grocery store, and I probably wouldn’t even pay that much for a loaf at a bakery, but at a farmers market? Heck ya. There’s just something about buying bread from someone who made it themselves.
The loaf of Kalamata olive and rosemary bread we bought was divine toasted.
Another thing I’m always on the hunt for is beeswax candles. I didn’t buy any this time around but we did find a nice display of them.
Although the pickings were slim in the tomato department there were plenty of cold weather crops available.
I like radishes as much as the next guy but… $5?
Save those olive oil tins!!! This is such a cute idea.
And this coffee stand!!! Very clever.
Another super cool thing we spotted were these iron fire pits. Prices ranged from $250-$400 but man were they cool. Totally something that you’d keep forever.
Bainbridge Island Farmers market…. If you’re ever in the area, go check it out!
There’s something for everyone!
Anyone else go to a farmer’s market this weekend? Find anything cool?
I’d love to hear about it,
