June has been a very hectic month. We took a road trip over 9 days that took us to Moab, Utah, onwards to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, back to Colorado via a brief stop at the Four Corners National Monument. We camped in a cabin at Mesa Verde and in tents at the Sand Dunes. I was wiped out at the end of it all but very content.
While I was away, all of you were busy, too! You made the fund raiser CLICK: Yellow for Bri a huge success!

8 dollars?
15$
i stopped going to our local farmer's market, where strawberries cost 8 dollars for a small box.
12.75$.. its just a guess.:)) but lovely bounty of fresh veggies I must say!
Siri
hmm close to 9 bucks
I'd say about $10. Glad you made it there after all! Are those favas I see???
And thanks for the link!
Do come down to the Pearl Street Market sometime. (I'm missing it today, alas. I have a poodle event to attend.)
Wow, you folks are used to really cheap produce! I am not! This was my loot for $10:
7 green bell peppers
3 young onions
6 kohlrabi
2 purple kohlrabi
10 tomatoes, of varying sizes
3 large zucchinis
1 bunch baby carrots
3 anaheim peppers
bunch of fava beans
The farm stand had a $10 bag-all-you-can sale. I could have stuffed some more kohlrabi and tomatoes in but the bag was getting too heavy and I had visions of a torn bag with produce rolling all over the sidewalk.
My experience at the Boulder Farmers Market is that produce is very expensive. So for me, all this for $10 was a real steal.
Kitt, if you're saying $10 for all this then I am coming to the Pearl Street Market soon! And I like that it is on Sundays!
Manisha, I think it's the same stand we've had on occasion, (I had a memorable $5 haul from them). I don't know if they will be at Pearl Street this year, but Ms. Soap Crone might know.
Here I would pay around Rs100-150 for the lot, depending on the season. Everything is hovering between Rs25-40/kg at the moment...I'm guessing you had about 5-6 lbs?
$10 eh? Good deal. Now cook! :-D
Kitt, the farm stand was Miller Farms. And he made it clear that he does not do these kind of sales every week. He said they had had a good day and it was the Grand Opening after all, therefore...
Anita, it felt more like 20lbs but I would guess it was at least 10lbs. Each zucchini is huge and the kohlrabi are dense, adding to the weight. Green bell peppers take up volume more than weight. I don't have a kitchen scale (gasp!) else I would have weighed it.
Pel, oh I totally think so! I hardly dare buy anything at the Boulder Farmer's Market as everything is very expensive. Cherries and strawberries especially so, as Bee noted above. This isn't quite Sunnyvale - which I loved - but it's quaint and retains the small town flavor. And, I cooked! People overate last night is all I will tell you!
at the union square farmers market on 14th street in manhattan this would cost me an arm and a leg.
about 30 to 40 $$ easily.
Thank you, Anrosh, for confirming that I am not crazy for thinking this is a real steal! Welcome to IFR!
