The Store for Anyone :)

Standing kitty corner, past the cars waiting for me to cross I could see many people congested between white topped tent covers, I can hear faint blue-grass styled music coming from what sounded like a live band. Most people you mention the Farmers Market to will tell you that they go every Saturday of the season, even if it is just to see "what's going to be at the Farmer's Market today?" When I first entered the “market” I had to make a very serious decision, what do I look at first? The Farmers market is filled with so much of a variety that there is sure to be something of interest for ever person attending. 

Some people come to the Farmer's Market just for fresh vegetables and fruits, you really can not go wrong with home grown. You can find the darkest red cherries, they are so juicy and potent they will stain your fingers when you take a bite. There is a man in overalls, he has that typical farmer look to him, long gray beard and accent that would make you think Tooele is in a different state. Lets call him John. Farmer John was the master of home made salsas. There were people swarmed around his area which was set up with samples, he had everything you could think of from Mild to Jalapeño to Tamatillo Avocado, about 10 different kinds lined up in a row. “Very few people taste them, and walk away without buying them,” said Farmer John with a proud smile on his face.

For a large portion of the female "species" there is an interest to jewelry that they are born with. Here you can find homemade jewelry, this can be very inviting because often times that means it will be one of a kind. You can find very 'interesting' jewelry, jewelry I am sure that only very 'interesting' people would wear. Big and gold, gaudy as hell, gargantuan charms to go on necklaces, like hands, dragons, and bleeding hearts even all in one. The lady at this particular jewelry stand had long dark hair and dark eyes bold-ed all the way around with thick purple eyeliner. She wears multiple rings on each finger. She had what looked like ten different gold chains on her neck with one large charm. The charm itself looked like a tree branch growing out of her neck, it had a hand coming out of the end of it holding what I suppose was supposed to be a crystal ball. Do not be alarmed though if this sounds to extravagant for you rest assured you could walk around for five more minutes and find some, what most would call, normal jewelry. Dainty and cute, accompanied by stylish feathered headbands and scarfs that can be used for skirts.

 One of the things that makes it such a welcoming environment is that more people will bring their dogs then they will bring their kids. Greeted by people in blue shirts that reads “Best Friends Animal Adoption,” be prepared to be sucked into instant "mushy puppy breath love land". Puppies and even full grown dogs socializing wear little aprons on their back that read “Adopt me.” they’ll make you think twice about what it would be like to have them in your family. Sure to catch your eye because he is most likely bigger then you, a gold colored mastiff mix with slobber coming out of both sides of his mouth, his eyes drooping downward but he still looks like he he smiling, how could you not fall in love.

Filled with entrepreneurs with all different talents in making, and growing; all around creating. Very good vibes coming from everyone, a social environment where people just want to share what they can offer and you can really feel that. It is hard to concentrate on one thing in this environment because there is just that much you want to see and experience. Walking away you still hear and feel the very social and worry free vibe of the Farmer's Market. I often times leave the Farmers Market with nothing but a smile, I love going there to see what there is too see, there are always interesting people as well, it can be different every time.
