Heirloom tomatoes in Walnut Canyon, Arizona

I like to drop by the Flagstaff, Arizona farmers market every time I'm passing through Flagstaff on a summer Sunday. That last happened in the fall of 2005.

This time, I'm here near the start of the season, and the heirloom tomatoes from Crooked Sky Farm down in the desert near Glendale, are at their peak. After I visited the market, I headed for Walnut Canyon, five miles away, and hiked down to some of the ruins that fill many of the caves and niches in the canyon walls.

Here's a report on what I found at the Flagstaff Community Farmers Market on June 17, 2007.
