Sunshine’s Macro Monday: The Beet Goes On

Inspired by Sunshine’s Macro Monday #23

Root vegetables galore covered the tables at a local indoor farmers’ market a few months ago.

I don’t usually buy fresh beets at the grocery store.

However, this time I thought…why not?

Look at all those colors!

This past June I enjoyed a visit to a farmers’ market in Washington DC.

Fresh vegetables stacked on tables…under tent after tent.

Local produce at its best.

Including carrots…as fresh as you could find anywhere.

Let’s compare to carrots from a plastic bag…in the produce section…at my local grocery store.

Stackable…but just not the same.

Agreed?

Farmers’ Market Fresh

A Farmers’ Market is the perfect place to discover the freshest produce…if you are lucky enough to find one near you. During a visit to Washington DC in June to visit my daughter and her family, we spent one Saturday morning enjoying the sights and sounds of the Petworth Community Market. A bustling collection of local vendors displayed a wide variety of products and services for sale. The community – all ages – was out in force taking it all in.

Tented displays featured a wide variety of vegetables, fruits and meats for sale. Along with flowers, coffees, breads, cookies, bagels and donuts. Including a booth selling fantastic gluten free donut holes!

Truly something for everyone.

Root vegetables were just a sampling of all the deliciousness available…
