i'd gone to the farmers market today with mom, searching especially for seeds to plant in the garden. nonetheless, while walking through the tents of the central strip at market and adjacent tent area in a kendall whittier district parking lot, i'd seen a variety of booths that interested me. mom had stopped at one booth on our first walkthrough to get a shortbread she likes, which she put in a reusable i'd not had the foresight to think to bring. then, the first booth that intrigued me enough to inquire about a product was a booth for cauxfee, a non caffeinated, natural ingredient coffee alternative. and though i'd been intrigued by the product largely for the health potential of a non caffeinated energy source, i'd not deny that both amusement from the proximity of the brand name to the infamous donald trump social media typo &covfefe&, and attraction from the brand ambassador being a pretty woman wearing a red flight attendant suit, influenced the decision to try the coffee alternative, which though somewhat expensive, was not exorbitantly so, considering the quality of ingredients and taste exceeding most all drip coffee i've tasted. then, upon circling back around for another walkthrough, i stopped at a produce plant booth at which i'd glanced before, and considering mom had told me she has not seen seeds for sale before at the farmers market, i'd figured the produce plants were as close to what i was wanting as i'd find, and so i bought three green bean plants. and lastly, mom bought a loaf of focaccia cheese bread from a company named backyard bread, which fittingly is located really close to where she lives. though i've tasted that kind of bread before, i tried it with a pasta dish that mom made, and the two paired well.
service
the brand representative for cauxfee was kind and knowledgable, providing me a flyer about the product ingredients and health benefits. also, the worker at the produce plant booth was similarly helpful, informing me that although none of the available tomato plants would grow below 3 feet tall, the green bean plants would grow about right at that height. the worker at the shortbread booth and the couple who own backyard bread were polite and helpful also.
ambiance
the weather was superb for walking outside, being around the 60s with a light breeze, though i'd think the dense crowd might be a challenge on particularly warm saturdays, and dressing accordingly is advisable. further, the live music at the event, a guy playing guitar and singing, was pleasant, clearly audible but not overwhelming. and lastly, i'd very much enjoyed seeing people i recognize, including a friend with who i'd went to school and his mom, and a worker for a booth with who i'd also went to school.
