Farmers Market Queens 2016 November – Think Roots!

In November we visited NY City – Stay with Marc and family in Queens – one of NY City boroughs. NY City is such a unique place that I can not help but spend much time out and about with my camera. Just yesterday with Florida friends we had lunch – I got to show off my NYC photos – They were amazed, they laughed, they “Oh My’ed”, they said “I could not go there unless you (me) were my guide”……..

The Sunday we were in NYC in November, we went to the Farmer’s market – where I took over 100 photographs. Here is one I loved so much, I kinda made a piece of art of it:

“peu pétunia à partir d’un patch de l’oignon”
Translated to English is “Little petunia from an onion patch”

I went to the web-site of The Famer’s Marker – Here is what I found:

Located in front of the Forest Hills Post Office, this neighborhood Greenmarket boasts a variety of locally grown, fresh products. Throughout the season, the market will offer free cooking demonstrations, kids activities, and the opportunity to mingle with neighbors, all while getting to know the regional farmers who grow your food. Come back each week to learn about the healthful and flavorful benefits of eating what is fresh and in season.

Community activities, cooking demonstrations and recipe exchanges will add to the diverse nature of this market.
