At The Del Ray Farmers Market April 18th, 2009
Things were looking up last Saturday at the Del Ray Farmers Market. After a dismal and rainy start one week prior, the market was punctuated with bright beds of flowers, while the produce scene was still redolent with plenty of greens, baked goods, coffee (breakfast, anyone?) canned goods, meats and pasta. Vendors and patrons turned out in greater numbers, and while the market was not yet burgeoning with strawberries or rhubard, Three Way Farm’s earaser board announced asparagus for $5.50 a pound (ouch!), but it was gone by the time I arrived to the market.
Del Ray and dogs go together like peas and carrots-and while our four-legged friends are not allowed in the market, you can always find a bench or a wall to relax and spend time enjoying the morning. Bowls of water are generally easy to find along Mount Vernon Avenue to quench a pooch’s thirst, while Let’s Meat On The Avenue tempts their well-honed sense of smell with smokes bones that promise hours of enjoyment.
Until the next At The Market, eat and buy local when you can.
