To market, to market… # 3: Giant cabbages, purple crabs and lemon honey
This is the round-up for the August edition of To market, to market… - a blog event to celebrate farmers’ markets around the world.
Here are the market finds this month:
Irish-style Lemon Honey which Sandy of Eat Real promptly paired with her own Spice Cream Cones.
Tomatoes, leeks and squash invasion, that’s what Allison (of Lemonbasil), a self-confessed farmers’ market junkie, experienced one Saturday morning.
Giant cabbages? Humongous tomatoes? Check out Tsia’s (of Eating Vancouver) adventure at the Trout Lake Farmer’s Market in Vancouver.
Alex of Eating Leeds shares with the different farmers’ markets in Leeds as well as the Oakwood Farmers’ Market, a quasi monthly fixture on the Eating Leeds calendar.
Check out too, my contribution this month, the Salcedo Saturday Market in Makati here in the Philippines for fresh produce in the middle of the city.

Thanks to all who joined. Come back next month for more harvests. I also invite you to join and share with us your adventures in the market.

OMG seeing this on SU reminded me that fresh, raw honey is in now at my local organic farm. I’m heading there tomorrow. Raw honey is the absolute best and it’s hard to come by around here. Thanks for reminding me!!

Trout Lake Market doesn’t have those cabbages. It was Richmond Country Farms Market in Richmond, BC. =) We just went there again a few days ago.
Thanks for a great round-up!
