Some people get excited about a makeup haul or clothes haul, but one of my favorite things to bring home is a big 'ole batch of the fruit from the farmer's market. This weekend, I found green figs, golden raspberries, and cherriums (a mix of cherry and plum), and I was in fruit heaven…
What kind of summer gems have you guys found at your local markets?

summertime at it’s finest! golden raspberries are the best.
I am obsessed with farmer’s market hauls, I love when people post their bounty on Instagram or other platforms! It’s great to see what is fresh and local around the country and internationally. They are all different, and it’s kind of refreshing to see the different shapes, sizes and colors rather than the typical boring orange carrot or perfect red tomato. Xo Em.
one time my chef cousin took me to her fave farmer’s market (where she knew like, all the people there) and we went home with around $100 of fresh produce. i ate so much fruit i was so deliriously happy and bloated. 😀
Such a pretty and simple breakfast!
I’ve never heard of green figs. I’m always interested in trying new types of fruit so hopefully I can find them in my neck of the woods (NYC) soon.
beautifully styled! Going to my local market is my favorite activity! I actually work for a bakery that has a stand there and I love working the stand. The community at Market is almost better than all of the goodies 😉
I’ve been meaning to make our way to the local Farmer’s Market. I used to go a lot with my mom and I love the freshness of everything there. I may do that this weekend. Thanks for sharing!

Its just so said that I live so far away from every farmers market… I know them from the US but I never found good ones here in Germany… Enjoy them!
Love from Germany and the -fatcatconnection.

Golden raspberries are so beautiful!
Looks really good 🙂
Have a nice weekend when the time comes 😉
Gorgeous food! I always get too excited when I go food shopping – even more so when I go out to a lovely farmers’ market!
hi, um lets see I just moved to the west coast so i havent found anywhere yet but when i was back home in the east, I went to a lot of markets. from kimichi to hobanro cheese I had it all. I always bought things at markets in brooklyn and in washington dc. I miss it I hope to find something here. though this hot weather doesnt permit such growing of things, but the whole foods here have locally made things. so thats a plus.
Berries and flowers! I love the colors and love to eat them and decorate tables with them both! In the Summer, they are both particularly gorgeous.
We love getting nectarines and peaches from our local farmers market. 🙂
What beautiful photographs! Them waffles look amazing too (drool) xx

Rainier cherries are always a hit here in Seattle during the Summertime.
Pluots are my absolute summertime must have from the farmers market.
I know how you feel. Thee is a hyper local honey guy at our FM and every time I get to buy another jar I’m like a kid!
I LOVE the ceramic plates this famers market hall is displayed on. Where are they from?
Oh my! Cherriums sound amazing!! I’ve got to try to find those at my market!
I haven’t heard of half of those fruits, how fun!! My trouble is always using them all up before they go bad :/
plumograntes! so amazing!
i made some freezer jam with them, too. sooo good.
My favourite purchases from farmer’s markets have been handmade fairtrade chocolate and beauty products.
That is a great haul. I love the plates you have it on. I need to find more time to go to the farmers market.
Oh the golden raspberries! They remind me of my summer spent road tripping in California. We always ended up finishing half of our farmers market loot before preparing it, as it was too good to wait up.
I have never seen those golden rasperries over here in Europe. Any tips on whether/or where they are available?
