Almost every summer Saturday morning, SB and I go to the market.  We get there as early as we can roll out of bed, and leave just when it’s getting crowded.

I love these beans (peas?)(beans?).  I don’t even want to cook them, I just want to play with the pretty colors.

We brought some sweet white corn home with us; I made a lunch salad and we had corn on the cob last night.  I love fresh corn!

I also love seeing the generations of families working together, bringing their harvest to market.  It’s so … real.  And homey.

This was the best deal in the place.

I’ll take them all!

Fresh off the truck.  I tell ya, Georgia peaches don’t have anything on Chilton County peaches!  It’s been a good year for peaches too, must be all the spring rain we had.

Hope you enjoyed your trip to the market!

    What a lovely market – full of colors and textures and… those tomatoes are making me drool, and I totally agree with you about the beans (though I’m sure they’d be quite tasty cooked up)!
    The salad sounds delicious :)

    Everything is gorgeous. Gee I could make a fortune selling basil. Think I will have pesto and tomatoes for dinner.

    Chilton County peaches are the best peaches in the history of the world.

    In my completely unbiased opinion.

    I ate a basket of them in two days.
