Happy Saturday, hmm the weekend is here. Does it matter much to us? Not much other than the
St.Jacobs Market is open today and the weather is perfect for a trip there. Its been a while and few things we would like to pick up. We headed out at 9 am for the 30 minutes drive, and always a busy place especially in this nice weather.
Few things we wanted to pick up, walking most of the market enjoying all the samples of fresh fruit and vegetables and there is some amazing deals to be had if you need. Suzie got a new supply of socks first thing, then into the large market building to our favourite vendors in there Hilltop Poultry farms, Hey what the heck? they are not here. Talked to a a neighbouring vendor and was told they have retired from the market after 40 years but still have their store in Breslau.
So much to see and do here, so many wonderful foods. we just love this market.

We left the market and headed to
Hilltop Poultry Farm in Breslau only 15 minutes away out in the country they have a store there at the farm and the Turkey Garlic sausage we are craving. Got what we wanted for now, wish we had more freezer room but it is pretty full right now, then headed back to Plattsville by 11:30 we had a light lunch then I read outside for a bit in the shade.

Then I made a Rhubarb Crisp and added strawberries as well, in my cast iron fry pan, baked in the oven for that recipe you can clic

The rest of the afternoon we enjoyed outside in the shade with our page turners and this amazing summer like weather. Temps up to 82F (27C) for most of the afternoon then cooled down later to 72F (22C), with a cool wind, but still a wonderful sunny day.

Best market we've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteYes Stew it sure is the best we have been to as well.
DeleteWhat an incredible day at the market, I was so impressed by the freshness and quantities of the produce. There was so much there I am sure one could make a day of it.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful day perfect weather for it too. We spent quite a few hours there checking everything out over the years always something new to see.
DeleteThank you for letting us follow along with you both today. That is a huge market and has just about everything one could possibly want.
ReplyDeleteThere was another time you featured turkey garlic sausage and I was intrigued. If I ever see it at HEB I will have to purchase some.
You that can sleep get a good night's rest because it looks like you will be equally busy tomorrow.
Glad to have you along. This market is huge so much to see it is really amazing. I have never found this turkey garlic sausage anyplace else other than froths one butcher but we keep looking. is is so tasty and even pretty healthy as well.
DeleteWe did sleep well and will busy again today.
Great market would be better with your Hilltop Poultry still having a presence. A wonderful day for you.
ReplyDeleteIt was here we found Hilltop Poultry but they do have their store on the farm. The owners are retiring from the market after many years having their presence here time for them to slow down. It was a wonderful day Jeff thanks.
DeleteI love this market and so many wonderful things there. I have never seen the turkey garlic sausage here. As a matter of fact starting to have trouble just finding turkey sausage.
ReplyDeleteIt really is an amazing market always fun to go there and see whats new. This is the only vendor I have found that has the Turkey garlic sausage and is so good. I keep looking for it in other stores. If it is made right it is so very tasty.
DeleteI'm always impressed with the markets you attend
ReplyDeleteWe are so lucky to be in areas to be able to explore these markets.
DeleteWow!! I cannot even imagine having that much produce to choose from. I would probably spend all day at the market.
ReplyDeleteYou could easily spend the day there checking out everything. The produce, meats, cheeses, bakery stuff, crafts, clothing etc....
DeleteOne of the great markets! We weren't far away yesterday, parked at our daughter's place just a few blocks from the market. Gord.
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful market we always enjoy going there. Small world eh?
DeleteThat looks like a great farmers market. I especially like the red/green grape display :-)
