Living
and playing in Santa Barbara, it's easy to forget that we live in the
midst of some of the richest farmland anywhere - that is until you go to
one of our many farmers markets. The diversity and abundance of
vegetables, nuts, fruits, honey, and flowers is mind boggling - and taste
tempting. We always find new vegetables that need to be tried or a
great jalapeno pistachio that just has to come home with us. And of
course there's the flowers just begging to find a home on our kitchen
table!
The Tuesday night Farmers Market in downtown
Santa Barbara is always extra special because of the street performers
that create a festive atmosphere. Be sure to check out our
Picture
Gallery taken on a warm summer evening at the Market.
Of course, each of the local
communities have their own farmers market that are wonderfully colored by
the character and charm of each town.
