berkeley's colorful farmer's market

Tony and I love going to the Farmer's market...and I bet you can tell. It is such a great and relaxing way to spend Saturday/Sunday mornings. The best part is all the delicious fruits, vegetables, breads, and cheeses that are available to purchase as well as a full variety of other goodies. The fruit samples are the best! How many different peaches and nectarines do you think there are? TONS! and many times you get to try them all! Yup, you can get a whole serving of fruits just by trying all the sweet samples. Another thing I love about the farmer's market is the vivrant colors that fill the space. It is unbelievable what beautiful colors nature can create...and no, it is not food coloring!

Since many people don't know when and where farmer's markets take place, I decided to put together a list of some of the locations around the bay area. Enjoy and remember to support our farmers!
