The adorable little stretch of Downtown Montrose turns into a quaint little harvest market every Sunday.
Rain or shine, as they claim, this market offers fresh fruits and vegetables grown by local farmers.
Today I bought some rainbow long beans, rainbow baby carrots, assorted squash, heirloom tomatoes, a few greens, and sweet peaches and pears.
I was so excited to get back and cook some of my delectable finds. For dinner, I pan-seared some porkchops with peaches and served it with roasted baby carrots and slices of heirloom tomatoes doused with olive oil, salt, and pepper mixture. It was fantastic.
The carrots were my favorites. It was naturally sweet and tender. The tomatoes were so juicy. The porkchop paired well with the peaches. When the produce is as fresh, it doesn't need much to make it tasty.
Nevertheless food is not the only thing you'll find in this market. A variety of local vendors bring their well-designed crafts such as purses, jewelries, and arts.
For the kids and kid-at-heart, a small petting zoo can be located at the end of the market. Here you'll find baby goats, sheep, bunnies, and chickens. The children and I enjoyed this very much.
At the market, you can also purchase some beautiful succulents, flowers, and various indoor and outdoor plants. I was tempted to purchase some, but the bf quipped, "Are you looking for another victim?"
Darn my black thumb! I confess. I'm a serial cactus killer.
