The Market (elbows up)

On Saturday I meandered down to the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market. That place is a dream. A very tightly packed dream, but a dream nonetheless. I did a brief run through and then went back for a better look at the booths I was interested in. Namely, I wanted a waffle:

For $3 I got this gem. It was hot, it was chewy and it was what I needed to wade back into the crowd. I took it upstairs where the booze and art is sold (always a good place for people watching) and planned my route.  After I was fortified I went back downstairs in search of veggies. I only ended up getting a bag of mixed carrots, but I think that had more to do with the fact I was overwhelmed by the people than the lack of choices.  I also picked up a delicious baguette for $2.50 on my way out.

Overall it is a place that I will definitely go to again. If you are a meat eater then I would say this is your place. There are many, many choices of local and organic meats to choose from. There is one main veggie vendor, but many places sell a selection of fruits and vegetables along with their baking. There is a large selection of ready to eat international foods, from jamaican to german to french (I can't wait to get a crepe next time) as well as coffee and smoothie stands.

See you next weekend at the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market!
