National Famers Market Week


Last week was national farmers market week . I visited the westside urban famers market . Its a little known gem of a market that is open every Sat from 8 am to noon . Its a mix of folks selling locally grown produce & baked goods from the back of pick-up trucks & car trunks . Its located on Bendix Drive about a block south of Lincolin Way West . This is a must visit market that has good food a great prices , and helps the local community .
