Are you ready to go to the Farmer's Market?
Yes! We're ready!
The trip to the Asheville farmer's market was full of beautiful scenery and, of course, lots of pictures!
The farmer's market is one of the most picturesque places with its bright colors arranged in the most interesting and eye catching way. We went mainly to get some apples and other produce in LARGE quantities. Even though we already knew who to buy from, there were plenty of other sellers vying for our business. It's the best way to get a free apple!
It was a good thing we bundled up.....it was a whopping 32 degrees!
We first went to the open air market where we got everything in bulk. There is no buying by the pound here! 40-pound boxes of sweet potatoes, 25-pound bag of onions, 55-pound bag of cabbage, a bag of peanuts, and lots of apples.
We then made our way to the warm confines of the indoor market. Ahhhhh! The warmth! Now this was right down our alley. It was the open air market type with a flare for the artistic -- carving, jewelry, pottery, baskets, etc. There were canned goods, dairy, eggs, beans, meats.....really anything you can think of when it comes to food.
They even had a can of dried possum! Ha! Ha! The serving suggestions: Serve on saltine crackers. Goes best with sweet potatoes, RC Cola, and a Moon Pie.

On our way home, we stopped at the packing house of Moss Farms to pick up more apples. They didn't have all of what we wanted at the farmer's market and their farm wasn't very far.
The apple orchards went as far as the eye could see. Johnny Appleseed would have been proud. : )
There were apples, apples everywhere! In crates, in boxes, in bushels, in bags...any way you can imagine.

You can somewhat see the magnitude when you compare the crates full of apples to people and buildings.
Do we get paid for advertising? : )

"And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:11-12
