Los Gatos Farmer’s Market

Before moving to Northern California I told Carlos that I want to visit as many farmer’s market as possible here. I always have soft spots for it. I just love looking and buying fresh veggies, fruits and not to mention the bake goodies there. We went to Los Gatos for a day trip last weekend and as usual made a pit stop at the farmer’s market.

It is located at the Downtown Los Gatos, Town Plaza. Adjacent to the Market, this quaint park features a water fountain, blooming flowers, plush greenery, park benches, large lawn area and winding walkways. It is a great way to spend a day there where you can sit in the park eating the goodies you bought from the market accompanied by the live music!! This market is open on Sunday from 8.00am to 1.00pm.

I am taking a break from food posting today. My camera went kaput on me so I have to send it to Canon for repairs. I am not sure when I can get it back from them. So from now on most of the pictures I took will be from my good old point and shoot camera.

What I like about living in California is the weather. It is always sunny even though the temperature can get quite chilling during the winter. When the weather is nice we like spending time outdoor. One of the things we like to do is visit the farmers market. Most of the vendors bring in the produce from their farms every weekend. I know their prices can be a bit more expensive compare to the supermarket but we like to support our local farms and small businesses and most of the vendors take great pride in bringing you their best quality produce. We like to stock up on weekly necessities like veggies, fruits, eggs, bread but most of the time we end up buying other things like flowers, pastries, olives, homemade pasta, olives and puffy bags of kettle corn. It is still winter so we don’t see much fruits yet especially the berries. I can’t wait for spring where fruits and berries are abundance. Here are some pictures I took to share it with you.
