Dallas Farmer's Market

Today we went to the Dallas Farmer's Market in downtown Dallas. I have been wanting some sweet peaches to make homemade jam and some other local goodies. We had a great time despite the heat and humidity. Keegan sampled 4 wedges of watermelon and was itching for more. We tried sweet corn, Texas honey, watched some bees in their hive, tasted Sharmyn melon (looks kinda like a white cantaloupe), and some other yummy fresh produce. We came home with all Texas grown fruits and veggies and can't wait to eat them up! We got watermelon, peaches, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, sweet onions, bell peppers, a cayenne pepper, and some bee pollen. Then we picked up an Italian basil and a Thai basil plant from a cute little old farmer who grows every kind of herb you can think of. We'll be having some good Thai curry and bruschetta this week! Here's a look at some of the stands and goods. YUM!
