Farmer’s Market

I love farmer’s market. Last 2 week I came across the local paper advertising a farmer’s market to be held in the college near my place. It is about a 10 minutes walk and I decide to check it out since it was so near as most farmers’ market are quite a distance away. This also gives me the opportunity to test out my new Nikon D60 camera I bought when I was in KL in late March.

Farmer’s market is an interesting place and sometime it is full of surprises. Most vendors are mostly small cottage business and they travel to different venues on different days to sell their products.

So what do you get in the market? Well, it is a bit like “Pasar Malam” except most things sold are home baked food – muffins, cakes, cup cakes freshly baked breads, hand made craft, recycle junks, fresh farm produce - wine, cheese, eggs, honey, fresh meat etc.

Since it was on the ground of a hospitality college, students were there to show off their cooking skill providing hot breakfast and freshly brewed coffee.

The college also had a nursery and there are varieties of plants for sale and for gardening needs.

I had a good time there checking the place out, basking in the sunshine over a cup of freshly brewed coffee permeating the air with its aroma. I was tempted to go for the bacon and eggs breakfast but hesitated because it was nearly lunch time. I will save it for another day which will be in 2 month time.
