Picnicking at the Farmers Market


Fresh fruits and vegetables play second fiddle to other attractions at the Sunday farmers market on Main Street at Ocean Park in Santa Monica. Vendors of prepared foods and other merchandise outnumber the farmers.
It makes for a festive atmosphere. It also keeps the local merchants happy, since the market management offered them space in the market to peddle their wares.

Here's my report on what I purchased on my May 27 visit to the market, including my first sampling of stone fruit this year.
