inside410: Farmers Market @ Pearl

Went to the farmers market at Pearl this weekend as it was the big San Antonio Herb Society weekend with the family and was very excited as it was the first of the farmers market I have been to Inside410. They are gaining in popularity every week and I am looking forward to visiting more...

Yuppers, it is fall here is San Antonio and it was a beautiful weekend at the event. Crowds great and the lay-out was good. As I walked around, I noticed that there were many more packaged foods than I was expecting and much less freshness thank I thought there would be. Prepared as in different teas, breads and cakes and other odds-n-ends. I did happen upon one table that had what I think is the best looking collection of turnips and radishes I had seen in a while.

It was a very big day for the herb lovers out there as that was the focus for the event so let's take a minute to learn a bit more about who they are: The San Antonio Herb Society was formed in 1983 with the goals of sharing knowledge in planting, growing, harvesting and using herbs for cooking, scenting, decorating, and healing. Currently, the SAHS has over 130 members. The society participating in many area gardening events throughout the year, including the Herb Market this go-round.

There were simply loads of herbs, flowers and, what I wasn't expecting, succelents.

If you have the opportunity to visit this or any of the other farmers markets in the area, you are encouraged to do so. Next time, I plan on visiting with more of the vendors to give you a bit more history of the products and insights into practices. Looking forward to more freshness!
