I couldn’t get away during the week to check out the farmers’ market, so I ended up going back to Irvine on Saturday. I hauled back a lot of fresh, yummy fruit, including ginormous strawberries, “fruit punch” pluots, and some lovely nectarines from the Sweet Tree Farms booth.

After a while, you start to get to know the regular vendors at the markets. For example, I love stopping by the Black Market Bakery’s booth, or the one who sells all the yummy flavored hummus, flatbread, and baklava. Sweet Tree Farms is one of the newer booths I’ve started to buy from regularly. The farm was founded in 2005 by Annie Florendo, and all their products are organically grown (they are in the process of being certified). I just love their fruits, and the fact that the farm’s owner is a woman is a plus.
