Farmer's Market

The Summerville Farmer's Market on Doty Ave. near Town Square wasn't the biggest of the summer on Saturday, but it might have been one of the most pleasant. The overcast sky and slight crowd made for an easy stroll among the vendors who had a minute to chat while offering up fresh goods. Of course Walter Limehouse was there maintaining order, broom in hand, sweeping up the bits of garden refuse inevitable in such a market. Probably the best part of Saturday's market came later that evening as we cooked up the corn, the butterpeas and sliced up a great tomato to go with shrimp I pulled out of the freezer and boiled up. Farmer''s Markets -- yum. If you haven't been, it's not too late. Better goods than any grocery store can truck in.
