I come down to the Farmer's Market pretty much every Saturday. Is it the best farmers market in the land, no; nor is it the biggest. But there are definitely some great local veggies you can purchase there and if you need some flowers for whatever occasion there are abundance of those too. (I purchase sunflowers there pretty much every Saturday.) But I have to confess that I have a problem, I believe I have a pickle addiction. It's a problem that has been pointed out to me numerous times. "Justin, its 6:30 in the morning, why are you eating pickles?" I don't even know I do it, I just reach in the fridge and magically I have a pickle jar in my hand...weird? So here at the Farmer's Market I found my pickle guy. I am never going back to Claussen or Vlasic, no no. I found Bmore Bill's Dills. There pickles are awesome. My favorites are the Old Bay Pickles and The Fiery Garlic. They are unbeatable. I usually get the chips but you can purchase the whole hog pickles if that's your thing. These pickles always have the crunch and spices, lots of spices, that I am looking for in a pickle. I would like to personally thank Bill's Dills for keeping my addiction strong and growing.
My next stop at the Fell's Farmers Market is at the Prigel Family Creamery. The girls at this stand are sweethearts and the ice cream is rich and flavorful, like sucking on a cow's teat. It's pasteurized at a low temperature to keep the integrity and freshness of the milk intact. They usually don't have too many flavors at the stand however, if you are lucky enough to get to try their Caramel Pretzel ice cream, high five. That salty, sweet, milk deliciousness is awesome. They have pumpkin ice cream as well but I have yet to locate that flavor in a store. But if I do, I am going to have to work out harder to keep that weight off.
Overall I love the Fell's Point Market because it's small, local and it has some good stuff there if you look carefully.
