St. Paul Farmer's Market

The sun FINALLY came out again this morning, so Duane and I headed to downtown St. Paul to go to the farmer's market.  We usually go to the Minneapolis farmer's market, and this summer, went to the Eagan Marketfest on Wednesday evenings, but the St. Paul market is THE PLACE TO BE in the early fall!

Unlike other markets, they have a "grown locally only" policy, so early summer is a TOTAL bust, but in the fall, when the "crops" are in, it's a GOLD MINE.  We found lovely carrots, anaheim chiles, potatoes, corn, and dill.  Not sure HOW the dill balsamic vinegar we bought today fits that policy, but it is CRAZY TASTY, so we'll overlook it!

Here are some photos of the fun!

This man needs a little more coffee (and possibly another "go" with Weight Watchers...)!!!!!

Rice Park, which we had to cut through to get there!





Edamame in it's "natural state"!



Part of the "bounty" we found!

Here's hoping YOU were able to sample nature's bounty this weekend too!
