We didn’t make it to the water taxi, being distracted by more land-based activities, but we did make the opening day of the farmer’s market. A duo played classic tunes on banjo and standup base, a young man with a impressive amount of product in his hair handed out tiny cupcakes, and earnest environmentally minded types carried wicker baskets from their Subaru Foresters (it’s not a made up cliche, we watched them, one after the other). We bought bread from Tall Grass Bakery, they make the best damn pumpernickel rye in the city and we haven’t seen their bread at our local supermarkets yet. It’s not a huge market, but they have everything – plants, baked goods, produce, flowers, honey, jam, you know the run. It was worth it for the bread alone.

Oh wow! This is a world premiere now 😉 I really intend to comment one of your entries…. 🙂 (ok, instead of babbling now I should say something more intelligent)
As I’m living very close to a farmer’s market (Lendplatz/Graz), I absolutely like to go there – at least once a week – in order to buy fresh veggies or absolutely fantastic bread..or just some of these other things which always do look incredibly fresh and tasty!
So Pam, I’d suggest you should come back to Graz soon in order to taste the amazing farmer’s bread from the Lendplatz ;-))
