Peach stand seller watches as a shopper feels the
peaches at the Atascadero Farmers Market held
weekly.
Peaches sold at
the weekly Farmers Market in Atascadero are
seasonally sold and enjoyed by those visiting
California's Central Coast. In addition to peaches,
you'll find apples, avocados, lemons, limes, oranges
and lots of berries--blueberries, strawberries (a
favorite), raspberries and other types.
The difference
between buying your fruits and vegetables at the
farmers market than a grocery store can be a matter
of several things. The fruit and vegetables at the
farmers market are locally grown. In the grocery
stores, the produce can come from all over the
globe. That imported produce may have been picked
weeks earlier, picked prematurely, and include
artificial enhancers or ripening agents.
Those living in
California's farm belt enjoy farm to table foods,
and we city folks who visit can enjoy it when we
visit and shop at their local farmers markets.
