Technically, last week was the first week of the market. We did brave the snow and go, but we slept in and missed the three bunches of greens for sale. We walked away with half a loaf of bread, a chocolate croissant, and a greenhouse tomato. 
Never give a baby even one single bite of a chocolate croissant, no matter how hard he begs, puppy dog eyes, etc. Just don't do it. Jack ended up pretending to be a bulldozer the whole time, very crazy. Sugar high. Anyways, this week we got to the market at a respectable hour to meet our good friend Cari and apparently a whole lot grew in one week. We saw carrots, parsnips, onions, spinach, chard, kale, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, squash, sunchokes, baby greens, arugula, and more. While, yes some stuff is from fall/winter, or a green house it was very cool to see almost all the booths up and running. Last week, was pretty sad and desolate. Spring is here baby!There is always a lot to see at the market. Today, must have been big dog day. I am talking about huge dogs, big enough for children to ride. While, we saw several large dogs for Jack to play cowboy with we didn't manage to snag a photo. We did see some ferrets on leashes out for a walk.
Jack even decided to take a turn at making some music with some friends.
There is something for everyone at the market. Even the best hamburgers a guy could eat at eight o'clock in the morning, so good you'll eat two.

I was just thinking this morning as I was rushing to the store before post church madness that I should go to the farmer's market. Now I'm inspired. If you all have some good stuff, there must be something here in Takoma as well!
