Finally, sun at the farmers market

My 6-year-old and I biked this afternoon to the Mercer Island Farmers Market, taking advantage of today's unusual sunny weather to stock up on fresh fruit and more.  My favorite stand is this one from Tiny's Organic, with their nice assortment of different fruits: mix and match what you want for $4/pound.

The Farmers Market organizers were doing a survey of attendees.  Looks like the vast majority of shoppers are locals, which explains why we kept bumping into people we know.

I love what they have here already, but you know what I hope they do next?  More places selling hot meals.  The one pizza place is yummy, but too much of a line.  I bet there are more people like me who would have stayed longer if we could have easily grabbed some lunch.
