Sundays at the Market

Since I moved into my new neighborhood, I've been enjoying the Sunday farmer's market just a few blocks away between 8th and 9th Avenues and Irving Street. It has not only fresh fruits and veggies from farms nearby but, also a few other items that I appreciate being able to purchase locally. For example, hand made soap and skin care products from Pamela Soap, almonds and dried fruit produced by Rodin Farms, and hard and soft goat cheeses from Achadinha Cheese Company (recently featured in Sunset magazine). Pamela's rose clay soap with lavender, rosemary and shea butter leaves my skin feeling soft and supple. The applewood smoked almonds and dried peaches from Rodin are full of flavor! And, the Capricious hard goat cheese is amazing grated over the fresh asparagus I pick up at the market.
