Ballston Farmers Market

I hit the Ballston farmer's market every Friday during the summer -- and believe it or not, one or two of the farmers are still showing up in November! (I have pictures of one of them in flurries.) So grateful I could still get organic veggies in November.

The Ballston market is preferable to many others around here because of the design. All booths are set up in a circle around a large mound of grass. It's so easy to maneuver, not cramped/crammed onto a tiny spot of land, and it's not overflowing with vendors selling crafty things and clothing. It's called a farmer's market for a reason, we want to see food! On beautiful days it's fun to see the business folk lounging in the center (my fave: the guys in suits taking off their socks and shoes to stand in the grass), and the live music's a nice touch.

Stand outs for me are Walnut Hill Farm, exquisite Fleurir gourmet chocolates, and Farmhouse Flowers -- but leave my Gerber daisies alone!
