Visiting the farmers' market has become part of my Saturday routine since it is just down the street from me. One of the vendors, the lady in the picture above, speaks Tamil. Even if I don’t buy vegetables for the whole week, I go to the farmers' market just to talk to her. I enjoy seeing eggplant (brinjal), okra (lady's fingers), hot peppers (green and red chilies), tomatoes, and yogurt (curd) being sold there. Most of the other products are typically local. The market is one of the few places where I see a lot of people. Unlike the colorful, crowded, and busy streets in India, the roads in Durham have more cars than people walking.

Vegetables look very much fresh like in INDIA!....Are they a product of ORGANIC FARMING or.....???....Very thoughtful of the lady to make you feel at home.....whats her name?
I too enjoyed the farmers' market in my town. But I cant visit it every saturday, as there are no buses over the weekend, and I dont have a car.
