The market is a place where children can play and meet up with friends in the designated play area, where you can chat with your MLA while in line for coffee, where the free-range pork guy will give you pepperoni samples while wearing a pig hat and showing videos of his happy, woodland foraging pigs. It's a place where you can try new foods, learn about raising bees, and meet up with old acquaintances from university, forging new friendships (I mean you Pam!). It is really one of my two favourite places to go in Summerside.
I thought for a quick Saturday blog post, I'd post some photos of the market. Forgive the quality of these photos, I was furtively snapping them as I walked with a less-than-stellar camera, trying not to bug anyone by taking photos without permission. I promise I will try to learn more about photography and borrow my sister's camera for future posts!

| And here I am, dressed in my Saturday best (!) with my afore-mentioned eggs. I would have picked up at least some greens, if not more tasty items, but I only brought enough change for a dozen eggs! |

Looks lovely! And so much more open and less packed than the Charlottetown one!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I'm excited for a year round farmers market, the one here is summer only, and well, I just don't like it very much.
Oh how I wish we had something like that here on the west coast. I would be there every saturday...well, at least I would try and be there every Sat. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the lovely photos. I was drooling over a few of them. {smile}
There are some yummy options for sure! And I think it is a shame you don't have one nearby. Maybe you could push the community to start one!
DeleteWe took a trip to our farmers market yesterday as well! Its so much fun! Our outside vendors were just starting to get stuff set up but the indoors was busy!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a nice way to spend a Saturday morning, isn't it! Our outdoor vendors aren't starting yet but as it warms up they will be, and the indoor area will just get more packed!
DeleteThese turned out much better than you led me to believe Rosie! And next time you take me along to the market you should let me take some money out first so I can actually bring some of those tasty goodies home!
ReplyDeleteNext time, let me know you need to stop!! I like being your sidekick. :)
DeleteI am just dying for our farmers market to start. It goes May to October. We have a 3 year old and a 9 year old who are going to love it! Thanks for the pics and post.
ReplyDeleteI really like Summerside Market and I wish I could get there more often. There's is a June - October one in Bloomfield also, it's smaller but very nice.
