Though summer in California is quickly fading, our amazing farmers' markets abound. Silicon Valley, with its proximity to both the Central Valley and the Pacific Ocean, is especially blessed with several markets throughout the week. And it is not an exaggeration to say that these markets bring with them some of the finest foods in the world. Your task for this reflection is simple: Go to a local farmers' market and sample what it has to offer, then write about the experience. Be sure to take in the market's colors, smells, textures, and, most importantly, tastes. Describe the feel of the market, its clientele, and the foods.What is it like being at a California farmers' market in the summer?
