Atascadero,
Calif.--The weekly Farmer's Market in Atascadero
brings out the fruits, vegetables, flowers, honey,
breads, and even wines to the Central Coast Wine
Country of the rich California growing region that
stretches throughout the state.
Home to some
outrageous delicious olives, artichokes and a
variety of fresh foods, a reporter in the photo
above interviews a grower selling dates at the event
which is held each week on Wednesdays. On the day
this picture was taken the temperature was 100
degrees, and not unusual for the the summer months
in Atascadero. A range of small mountains block the
ocean air from reaching the city, thus creating the
heat that prevails in a semi-desert when the Pacific
Ocean's influence is not close enough to keep the
air cooled.
Shown in this
picture are two seemingly cool folks, who probably
live in the region and aren't strangers to the heat.
In the background you'll see a poster that's used to
promote this weekly farmer's market event, and a
stand with tropical plants sold in pots.
We sought the
reporter's story after attending the event and found
a general coverage of the market appearing in one of
the local newspapers. The newspapers on the Central
Coast offer great local coverage of the issues and
events relevant to the region. With San Luis
Obispo's Cal Poly University nearby, there are also
some indy style publications featuring cutting edge
music and lifestyles.
