Where are we today ?
Shortly after 9 am we headed out for the 30 minute drive to the St. Jacobs Farmer's Market always a very busy place to visit on a Saturday morning. Lots of vendors and the new coverall building is really nice, quickly erected last fall after the devastating fire that wiped out the older wooden building.
So many vendors and all the fresh produce kept us walking and looking for a few hours. Lots of buskers and magicians there doing their thing makes for a great atmosphere.

The blue circles for the buskers is an intriguing idea. I guess they must be regulated by the city?
ReplyDeleteNot sure why the blue circles, have never noticed them before.
DeleteLooks like each one has a number. "That's your spot, stay in it!" kind of thing.
DeleteYeah thats what it looks like.
DeleteThey do have an information booth and they know where every vendor is.
If we can't find one we just need to check there and they can tell you if they are here and where they are located.
Most impressive...lots and lots of variety! Love the sightseeing bus and horse...that's a first for me!
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice way to tour the country side here.
DeleteLove your market. Great looking meats and pastries. Hey George - how to you make your map? I'm trying to figure out how to do one and I'm not having any luck.
ReplyDeleteI create a map in google maps, I use the classic maps, then click to embed and customize the view. Copy and paste the html into you blog in the html view where you want it placed and its there in my template.
DeleteA bit of fiddling, but once you figure it out works pretty good.
You sure do end up visiting a lot of great markets. There are a few around here but not as many and not as big. Well, the one in Portland is huge. Maybe I need to start checking out the little towns and see what they have. I sure would like to visit ones like you do.
ReplyDeleteWe prefer the smaller towns as opposed to the big cities, they are usually much better.
DeleteI have been to St. Jacobs. Twice, in fact! But I have not been to the market. Looks nice.
ReplyDeleteSt. Jacobs village is a nice small touristy town and the market only a couple miles south, with stock yards and all. Worth a visit.
DeleteLove farmer's markets! We can find so much good for us foods to plan our meals around.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue why, but your blog keeps disappearing from my list. Found you. once again, today. Thank goodness!
Not sure why it disappears, but glad you found us again!
DeleteGreat pics of a wonderful looking Farmer's Market, George!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words and encouragement following the loss of our beloved pup Molly. Your thoughts are much appreciated by both Paulette and myself.
You are so welcome, like you said, it will take time, but at least you have some great memories of Molly.
DeleteGreat way to spend the morning - we really enjoy FM's and eating the items we get there. This looks like a fine one and I especially like the sausage case.
ReplyDeleteYes its all good here. Too much good food.
DeleteFresh corn on the cob! We are still waiting for it here in the west. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteWe did not buy any yet but soon we will.
