It’s Saturday morning I woke up extra early and with extra energy, but my cycling buddy wasn’t up for riding yet. A trip to the Davis Farmers Market was just what I needed! I’ve been having some trouble with my camera, so some of these photos are a little funky, but I think the beauty of the produce still shows through.

A late variety peach ... such a sweet and wonderful surprise!

Several vendors had beautiful displays of cut winter squash

Black Spanish Radishes ... I have never seen nor heard of such a thing! According to the vendor, they're spicy like a radish, but more starchy. She said they're great roasted.

Sugar Pie Pumpkins!

A beautiful bounty of squash ...

A Rainbow of Bell Peppers ... I can't eat them, but I love to photograph them! These beauties are from Towani Organi Farm. (For more info, see: http://www.localharvest.org/towani-organic-farm-M17515)

Remember the pesto I made back in August? (See:  http://cyclingfoodie.com/2012/08/pesto-ala-cycling-foodie/) This is the booth where I got the basil. Towani Organic Farm owner Guy Baldwin and his team really do a beautiful job with their display and have lovely produce.

Eggplant

Towani organic Farm, cherry tomatoes

Towani Organic Farm ... I love this friendly little reminder.

Gorgeous display!

Some of the best gluten-free goodies I have ever tried.

Most vendors are happy to provide a sample for you. If the Flour Chylde Bakery offers you a sample, try it.
