Summer Colors at the Farmers Markets

California is known for its agriculture, and its shining moment is definitely in the summer when the farmers markets are packed with all sorts of fresh fruits and vegetables, along with tons of people out and about on a sunny weekend day.



Of course, heirloom tomatoes just scream summer. They're at their peak right now, and they look so juicy and ripe.



Summer squash can really turn into some beautiful gems with its marbling patterns. Plus, it's like sunshine on a plate.



I'm not a fan of eggplant, but I do love the purple color. At Chue's booth, they had four different kinds of eggplants, from Japanese to Chinese to Italian. Oops, I forgot the fourth one. Maybe it was Korean?



Grapes definitely say California to me, and although I'm more a fan of red flame seedless grapes, these black grapes look pretty classic.



I just enjoy wandering the farmers markets and just seeing bursts of color. This weekend the summer weather finally arrived, and just in time to spotlight all the amazing food here.
