Farmer's Market and L'Etoiles Croisants

This morning we met Kelly Sorensen and her son Nathan at the Winter Farmer's market. Mark and I had never been and were impressed with all of the people and wares. When we got there, there was a man playing the harp, the breakfast cafe was open and brimming over with people. Although this was the winter market, there was lettuce and spinach including the more traditional winter fare frozen meat, jams, honey, potatoes and eggs. We picked up some Yukon gold potatoes for Easter dinner, 1/2 a dozen eggs for our Easter cake, spinach and some lovely buckwheat honey.

Afterwards we all headed over to L'Etoile's for yummy croissants. Mark enjoyed a salmon pastry while I eagerly ate and herbed-chevre. L'Etoile's has changed a bit since the last time we were here (about a year ago) and it was very nice to not have to deal with the usual farmer's market crowd of summer- we actually found a place to sit down!
