Its not that often for a Farmers' Market to come to a Suburban locality like mine. And when it does, we don't miss!
Last Sunday was exactly one of those beautiful summer mornings. My Son's school closed for the long summer break and there was no better way than to begin the holidays with the Farmers' Market. Though a hot and humid day, we spent a lot of time enjoying the open air under thatched roofs that saved us from the direct sun and the sweet flavorful fresh sugarcane juice.
The market was flooded with fresh farm produce and household products. There were fashion products woven from natural material and a whole lot of activities with potters, eco-planting kits and fanfare to add to the fun elements of the fair.
Not to mention, the neighborhood added to the festive feel. Lots of chit-chat on cane beds placed under the shade of large Gulmohor trees and make-shift swings added to the rustic festivities.
We were perfectly timed for breakfast and what better than feast on freshly made sumptuous Indian grub!
Coconut water was available in abundance. The natural thirst quenchers.
Fresh juicy fruits that one just couldn't have missed!
The mouth watering farm fresh vegetables. They always have such a distinct flavor and taste.
The farmers ensured they stock up lentils at the sale...
So the next stop was obvious. It was time for condiment shopping. Fresh tamarind, onion, ginger and garlic all stacked up around the corner.
Farmers market without honey is not a market at all! :)
The grapes were worth its weight!
Beautiful terracotta art being taught by a fine artist.
Some more cooler terracotta indulgences- mishti doi (sweet curd) in a bhadh (clay pot). Unique to the fair and made me want to run back to Kolkatta!
Some greens to encourage the crowd to begin planting a home garden...
The sweetest stall at the fair! The juice was simply the best I have had in years...
The art n craft under the thatched roof!
Some home decor ideas...
With so much of action packed in one half of the day we were exhausted and yearning to crash land at home. :)
So we bid adieu to the Farmers' market and its fluttering buntings and wish that there are many more such beautiful experiences packed through our summer break.
Signing off on that fluttering note... :)

Here are some captures of this fun day with the family at the Farmers' Market.
