Templeton Farmers Market is More Than Fresh Produce

At the Templeton Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, you can find a number of items besides fresh produce. There are baked goods, unique dog treats, pottery, flowers, olives and pickled garlic, honey, jewelry, hats, flowers and succulents arranged around collectible objects, and more. You never know when something new and unexpected will show up or a new vendor will appear. The purpose of this lens is to show you many of the non-produce items I see at the market from time to time.

Some vendors only come seasonally. Others come almost every week. Between them they provide a wide variety of goods. Those selling food items that are processed, such as bottled olives or bakery goods, will often give you a taste to persuade you to buy. Those selling craft items they have made just display their products and are there to answer questions about them. I have interviewed some of those who make what they sell about their businesses and products for this lens. For me, the Farmers Market experience is as much about people as about products.

Now let's see what's available when you might choose to come to Farmers Market and talk to the people who produce it.
