Union Square Farmers Market

The Puppy and I went to the farmers market this morning.  I had planned on getting a bunch of kale and some mesclun salad.  It did not work out that way.  Of course, I bought far more produce than that.

The Queens County Farm Museum has a stand at the market on Fridays and it is hard to stop by and then leave empty-handed.

For one thing, I love the presentation:

I am always taken by a nice chalkboard:

And who could resist these - fairytale eggplants:

Or these heirloom tomatoes:

I left and then circled back for some of these leeks:

It is amazing that there is a farm within the city limits with such lovely produce.  I was told it is open to the public for visits.
