Rochester Farmer's Market--the Colors of an American Dream

A Farmer's American Dream

Where would we be without our farmers, who work, wait and hope patiently through the threat of frost,  too much rain, too little...there's possibly no harder line of work. The one farmer I know says he wouldn't do anything else with his life. It's his American Dream come true to be on the land and coax it to produce nutritious food.

This Rochester farmer's market was beautiful, with fruits and vegetables in vibrant colors. Note that most baked goods are beige or brown...will that help you make a wiser choice next time?

Beets, bright magenta inside.

A deep, rich green -- tons of vitamins.

Much more vibrant than a chocolate cake.

This chicken was for sale...if I brought it home, what would my neighbor's think?

Maybe it's a rooster...any opinion? Say, if you like my blog, would you sign up to follow it? Thanks!!
