2025-9-20 Santa Fe Farmers Market

If you are in Santa Fe, be sure to take a trip to the Farmers Market on Saturday. It's huge and very interesting.

We were lucky enough to find a parking place within an easy walking distance of the market. The first thing was saw and smelled was the roasting of peppers.

Right next door was a covered area with vegetables of every kind. 

As you can see, I was dressed for cooler weather. It was quite cool when we got up but warmed up after we got to the market. Lesson learned, wear a t-shirt underneath so you can take off the pullover.

Elaine is always hot so she started out in a t-shirt.

The Farmers Market is located right near the railyard so it's easy to find. They had so many booths.

I'm not sure how you were supposed to use these gigantic ropes of flowers but they were beautiful.

It's apple season in Santa Fe.

There were other things on sale besides fruit and veggies.

I have no idea why blogger turned these photos on their sides but it would not let me turn them the right way and I thought the flowers were too beautiful to leave ut.

These dinner plat dahlias were just huge and so beautiful.

There were a lot of people taking advantage of the market, most carrying their own bags with them.

Don't the vegetables look delicious?

Going the other direction from the Farmers Market was an Artists Market.

There were quite a few artists marketing a wide range of crafs.

In the area between the two markets, this group was providing wonderful entertainment on these instruments. They were all different sizes with different sounds.

The man in the top knot was the group leader. Let me tell you, there is a lot of exercised involved in producing this wonderful music.

This lady was smiling the whole time she played and got quite a workout.

One last look at the Market. All the fruit and vegetables were from New Mexico, most from close by counties. I missed getting a good picture of it but there was one booth that had huge bowls of different kinds of lettuce and greens. There was a long line of people with their bags that used large scoops to gather all the different types of lettuce and then get their bag weighed at the end. Now that's how to make a great salad!
