Fresh produce is personal.

Yes, I know every city has a cute little farmers market where people go on the weekends and collect thier farm fresh produce in there canvas totes. I can really say that to anyone the farmers market that happens on sunday under the overpasses on X and 7th street is no different. I find however, that it is far more special to me than the average shopper  with things in it that are a staple to why I love sac so much. Up and down and around I go Monday through saturday. On sunday I go here to take a deep breathe and slow down,spend some time with my family mostly my mom who has taught me to love nature. She teaches me new things about picking my produce and buying flowers.

I have come to enjoy the musical stylings of Johnny Knox who is always there with a smile a guitar and good music. Always happy to play for me I stand infront of him make a too small donation to his guitar case and listen to his country/blues songs. I consider myself fourtante to here a live show while is hop for fruits.

 I know that at the end of the market there are tables with politically active volunteers trying to get there message across, mostly I agree but it is beautiful to know that I live in city where there are politically active people. People, all the different types I get to see, by the 9/1 1 was a lie table I saw a young lady whom was pregnant and had the longest armpit and leg hair i had ever seen. I thought it was incredible to see a young lady who did what she felt was right and did not give in to what society tells her to be.

Its calming to know that at this farmers market not a lot of people turn thier nose up at people who look different. Herbs, cheese, vegetables, flowers, rice, pastries and fish you can find this and many more things at the sacramento farmers market on sunday morinings underneath the over pass.
