Feast your eyes....and your belly

Went to the Westside Market again. This place is fantastic. A a large indoor market building houses items that generally need to be chilled, such as meats, poultry, fish, dairy, ect. then there's an outdoor market that wraps around the indoor building that plays home to all of the tastiest and freshest produce around these parts of C-Town. There are about 50 different produce vendors from choose from....oye veh. But after doing some talking and asking with the vendors, I think I've found the one where I'll be shopping...The Basketeria. They go out to local Amish farms, which there are very plentiful just south of Cleveland, pick the veggies themselves and bring 'em for us city folk to enjoy. No pesticides, no goofy wax on cucumbers, just plain ol' goodness. And the best part, it's way cheaper than going to your local mega grocer. A big bunch of lively green asparagus for only $1.00?!?! Sign me up.

Here's a glimpse of the outdoor produce area.

The indoor market.

A little shop that sells chocolates from allllll over the world. Dangerous.

Hand-made pastas.

Chickens.

Cows.

Last time Joe and I were at the Market, we found a vendor selling whole pigs. I was eager to catch a snapshot of the piggies, but, they had already been sold. Perhaps next week.

But anywho, go out and find your local farmer's market. There's always something to please.
