Davis Wins!

The votes are in and the Davis Farmers Market won the America's Favorite Farmers Market contest.  I can't tell you how happy I am.  Of course, I love just about any farmers market, but I have been going to the Davis market most of my life, so it is dearest and nearest to my heart. 

Apparently, Davis won the large market category.  I wish I realized that there were size categories, so I could vote for a tiny favorite, the Fitler Square Farmer Market in Philadelphia.  Until recently, we lived near this market and it never disappointed.  In addition to delicious fruit and veg, a vendor sells apple cider donuts. 

Davis Farmers Market

We have been lucky enough to shop at the Davis Farmers Market most weekends this summer.  During the summer, the market takes place on Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings.  The mid-week market is more of a veggie purchasing party with live music and picnicking.  The market is a great community gathering place.  We are excited that we will make it to Wednesday market this evening-- the first time in ages.

At last weekend market, the Cherokee Purple tomatoes were stand outs.  Beautiful and tasty.
