This is the last from our holiday pics up in the Okanagan parts of BC.  Beautiful huge lakes to swim and watch boats on, amazing fruit fresh from the farmers markets and great meals and visits with our friends.  Don't you love their dining room table that they made?  And these little 'lantern' fruits were really interesting- not sure what they are called but it's a cross between a cherry and a tomato. 

Farmer's Market

The town of Vernon has a great Farmer's Market. Besides the amazing selection of locally grown organic veggies and fruit, they also have bakers, a fresh juice stand, kettle corn, samosa's and much more.  I've never tasted such an amazing fresh mint, almond and chocolate chip 'cookie' (pretty dense to be a cookie), and the swirled poppyseed bread we bought was delicious.  The home-grown and country feel to the market is really charming from the old timer busking to the organ playing puppeteer!?! - yes he's playing organ and his petal moves the puppets at the same time.

Of course, I should be getting myself to the Farmers Market's in Vancouver more often.  Although they have really limited and highly curated vendors and it has a real 'hipster' vibe that isn't quite as down to earth as a smaller town farmer's market, I'm sure it's just as good.
