Ballston Farmers Market

By: Airport Gal (Jun 19, 2008)
I had a few hours to spare before heading into work, so I headed out to get some tomatoes & squash & perhaps some flowers. In the sweltering heat, I finally found a place to park, which to my surprise did not cost an arm & a leg for 45min. By the time I got there @ 2:15pm, a few farmers remained to ply there wares. Even though I caught everyone at the dregs of the day, I got what I came for and more. The highlight of my trip was a florist tent from which I purchased two large bouquettes and a small herb planter. The gentlman who helped me was very helpful and even confirmed a homeopathic remedy for migrains which I had heard of. I shall be returning tomorrow, but at an earlier time, to again purchase flowers and the oh so fresh veg! This location is devine. One can have lunch at one of the surrounding restaraunts, catch a movie and do fresh produce shopping all in one conveniently located place. Plus, the Metro is not far from this farmers market, so the guilt of driving can easily dismissed! Every proprietor during my visit was nice and knowledgeable. I highly recommend partaking this ample bounty!
