Takoma Park Farmer's Market-Lilly's Lavender Day Trip

Every Saturday from 10-2 the farmers in the area gather at the Takoma Park Farmers Market in the middle of the downtown area. Vendors line both sides of the street offering glorious sunflowers, dahlias and zinnias for sale. A plethora of fruits including sweet and sour cherries, dark blackberries, and juicy peaches can be sampled and purchased. The aroma of cookies, breads and fruity pies circulates through the air to tempt your tastebuds. The cheeses from the organic farm are especially smooth and creamy, flavored with various fresh herbs and spices. Even meat pies and organic chicken and beef are being sold out of large coolers. A visit to this farmers market will take you back to a long ago memory of life when food was fresh, life was simple and summer meant munching into a fresh peach and feeling its delicious nectar dripping down your cheeks.
