We drove into Houston to shop at the Urban Harvest Farmers Market. I enjoyed being a customer again, like the good old days. It sure is a lot less work! We woke up at 6:30, got ready at a leisurely pace, and even ate breakfast before heading out at 7:40.
For once, I remembered my camera.
A loaf of sourdough and a scone from Angela's Oven
Oyster mushrooms from Animal Farm
Two flavors of chevre from Hammond Farm
A chat with our friends Lori and David Crank of Oaks of Mamre Farm (I had already picked up my eggs and chicken at their semi-weekly delivery in Tomball)
Tomatoes from Wood Duck Farm (our plants are long gone)
Then we headed over to the Midtown Farmers Market at Chef Monica Pope's restaurant t'afia, where I accidentally left the camera in the car. Houston Dairymaids was out of our favorite, Redneck Cheddar, because they are saving it for a beer and cheese tasting at St. Arnold's Brewery next week. Luckily for us they still had some of Mozzarella Company's fresh mozzarella, Veldhuizen's Texas Gold and Sand Creek's gouda. We also grabbed some plain naan from Nisha's.
We came home with a lot of delicious local food. It was a good day!
