Bayview Farmer's Market Opens for the Season, a Story in Pictures

Tulips for sale at Forget Me Not Farms

Bayview Farmer's Market started for the season today, April 25th, and it was packed with vendors and shoppers. There were farmers selling flowers and vegetables like lettuce, potatoes, kale, seedlings for you garden, spinach, rhubarb, honey, meat, and eggs. Bur Oak Acres had fresh juice for sale. Try one of their samples in vibrant pink, green and orange colors, with ingredients like kale, beets, carrots, apples, lime and lemon. And they all tasted amazing! Other vendors sold artwork, handmade bread, pastries, chocolates, pies, henna tattoos, shampoos and soap, BBQ, soup, wool, clothing, jewelry, spices and salts, and even dowsing lessons and stylish dog clothing.

We had a fun stroll through the booths listening to live Marimba music and enjoying some soup and rice from Mr. Mobley's stand. Luc had the coconut curry chicken (our fav) and I had the tomato bisque. I bought broccoli starts for my garden (24!) from Pam's Place (also get artichoke, onions, kale, herbs, tomatoes, and more) I also bought fresh lettuce from Bur Oak Acres. Forget Me Not Farms a good variety of tulips and as well as many tomato starts to choose from.

Stop the market at Bayview any Saturday, rain or shine, from 10 am to 2 pm. Get there early if you want a good selection of farm fresh vegetables, as they go quick.
