Hey guess what?! Fells Point finally has their own Farmers Market! Yippeeee!! My amazingly talented marketing friend Merritt (who you probably already know) runs the market every Saturday until November 12th in the Broadway Square from 7:30am (if you're an early bird) until noon (if you're lazy like me and want to sleep in).
Not only do they have fresh produce from local farms in Maryland (and
their adorable workers who help you decifer the difference between kelp and nori), but they also have tons of handmade /homemade crafts, jewelry, baked goods (featuring some tasty vegan goodies too!), healthy doggie treats, and more. The apples today were bigger than my fist and so juicy, it sort of took me back to when I was a little girl and my grandparents took me to an orchard. I got to climb a tree and pick an apple. I ate it right there and even then I remembered how sweet and fresh it was. Yum!
Please wake up at a reasonable time next Saturday, skip your cartoons and your breakfast, and stop by Richard's tent for his amazing baked goods that are, as he puts it, little pieces of heaven in your mouth. And he's sooo right! There's coffee too. Oh, and pickles. Yes, pickles. Some of the local business like Javaroo and Bonaparte even get out there to sell and advertise. Go meet them!
It's a real treat for Fells Pointers to finally have a market in their own neighborhood instead of trucking it through the busy city streets for the one underneath the 83 overpass...ugh! What an awesome Saturday!
