Occasionally we find some unusual produce at neighborhood farmers market. However the best part is meeting people.

Here is one if the white sweet potatoes we purchased. Firm meat and sweet, they are perfect for snack.

Here is Peter with Jonathan, the son of the owner, "Mama" who I was told has been making products for over 50 years.
The lemon tree in my Mother's backyard bears superior crops. Round and juicy, they are perfect for juicing. This afternoon I helped her harvest about 30 fruits which is only about 20% of what is still remaining on the tree.
