Mobile Farmers Market Update
I arrived just after 7:30 and the market was the busiest I’ve ever seen it.
Items included: baked goods, beans, blackberries, blueberries, candles, collards, cucumbers, corn, eggplant, eggs, flowers, goat cheese, herbs, honey, melons (cantaloupe and watermelon), okra, peaches, peppers, pillows, plants, potatoes, seafood, soap, summer squash, tomatoes, vinegar, wine.
I was pleased to see a stand for Henrietta’s goat cheese (they were also selling eggs). The farm is located in west Mobile county. If I’d been paying more attention, I would have known that you can buy Henrietta’s chèvre (fresh goat cheese) and goat milk at Virginia’s Health Foods, The Health Nut, and Jimmy Lowe’s. When I’m at those stores I’m never shopping in the dairy section.
