I've posted about
our local farmer's market before, but finally remembered to take some (phone-quality) photos this past weekend.
Going to the market is one of our favorite summer Saturday morning pastimes when we are in town-- usually motivated by the want for something delicious for breakfast (Mexican food at 8am, anyone? Don't mind if I do!). We like to head over there early - sans shower - before it gets too hot and too crowded. I enjoy buying local produce when I can, although I am not fanatical about it (I won't lie and tell you I don't go to Sam's club for bulk TP or buy milk at my local grocery store), and the market makes that easy.
Enjoy some shots from around the market!

| Tequila peppers and Blanco peppers (google them). We grilled up some Tequila peppers and put them on a grilled pizza Saturday night. Delish! |

I can't decide which I like best: the mexican food, stocking up on fruit for the week, or trying new vegetables (e.g. Kohlrabi).
I love the Charlottesville City Market. It is even fun in the rain!!
