We have gone to the Charlottesville Farmers' Market twice now, and I am impressed by the size, selection, and popularity of the market. The Waterpenny Farm is our favorite place to get tomatoes because the scarlet gems taste just as succulent as they look. I have been making lots of gazpacho, but mostly we just eat the fruit as is. There is nothing like a perfect tomato with no bling. (The gal next to Dave is not me...yet!)
The unattached cantaloupe
Charlottesville folk take their farmers marketing so seriously that they coordinate their outfits to match the fruits and veggies that they don as accessories.
Curtis, the "Dahlia Man", and our friend Bill have been bemoaning the dismal state of the Dahlia season. Curtis says that his flowers are usually much taller, fuller, and abundant by now, but he still manages to show up to market with his lovely few, so delicately displayed.
