The North Caroline State Government: Farmers' Market Piedmont Triad is one of five farmers' markets owned and operated by the State's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. And a mighty fine farmers' market it is. Visiting the Farmer's Market at 2914 Sandy Ridge Road is a great way to start the day. You get to interact with friendly people and buy locally. We get many of our plants from here as well as our produce. Most weekends, the Farmer's Market has a theme: strawberries, blueberries, peaches...... that keeps us attuned to what produce is currently at peak season. Oh, the Moose Cafe, on site, is a down to earth place to eat while shopping. Arrive hungry!
For us, the skies are inherently beautiful but are even more meaningful when serving as a backdrop for the rest of nature, including man. So, here's to Sky Watch Friday, from our vantage point under one of the retail shelters at the farmers' market.
Beautiful farmer's market. There must have been so many delicious fruits and veggies for sale. Thanks for checking out my site : )

You had strawberries too it´s that time of the year. The whole scene looks very friendly.
I had to post yesterday. If I don´t then I would have limited time to visit other blogs. That´s why I have comments already.

Great shot. I love to go to the state farmer's market we have in Raleigh too.

Wow, you are right. Those colors just pop with that blue cloudy sky as backdrop. Wish days like this would stretch on and on, but we've got to enjoy the bounty while we can. At least in the winter we have our summer images to look back at :-).

Truly a wonderful farmers' market. So great to have everything all together with the great variety of plants as well. So colourful against the summer sky.
