Sante ~ Photo tour of small town farmers' market
I do realise that I have not been regular in this space and the posts have become quite erratic. Believe me when I say that I had a plan of posting one of my most favourite recipe today. But if everything went according to our plans then life wouldn’t half as exciting as it is now!
What I am going to share today is the third and final part of Sante, a small farmer’s market from my hometown. Please do take a look at the Part 1 and Part 2 of this photo tour to get lost in the world of fresh fruits and vegetables and the aromatic spices and more! Today’s post is dedicated to the friendliest faces who not only smiled and posed for camera but also showcased their fresh produce and talked about how they grew them in their small farms. May it be the heavy monsoon season or the scorching hot summer days, they are the hard working ones who come to the large open field well ahead of sunrise and work till the sun sets behind the tall mountains! Some of the vendors generously shared their favourite recipes to cook with particular vegetables and some helped in choosing the most tender greens and veggies to take home with me. Going to Sante with my mother has always been one of the most enjoyable experience and it still continues to be the same! So here are the some of the friendly faces I came across who made the whole experience of becoming a tourist in my own hometown a memorable one!
