The Kamloops Farmers Market

The farmers market is back. Happy times.
What a gorgeous sunny morning for the first day of the Kamloops Farmers Market. This section of St. Paul Street is fairly quiet in earlier hours, but became a bit more abuzz later in the morning.

Eggs ($4.00 per dozen extra large or $3.50 per dozen regular size)

I picked these up from Bernardo’s Garden Market. I always grab a dozen eggs when at any Farmers Market, because I can never have too many. I noticed there is another egg seller here today. I had already purchased my dozen, so I’ll try this other vendor next time.
I use to buy my eggs from an entrepreneurial 7 year old egg dealer, but unluckily for me her family moved away a few weeks ago. Word on the street is there’s another possible egg peddler in my 'hood, a 10 year old. I’ll have to find out how happy his chickens are, before I commit to becoming one of his regulars. Bernardo’s will have to do for now.

Selection of Pam’s curries and pakora samples

I stopped by Pam’s Curries, to pick up some bread and samosas.

Sweety’s Naan ($5.00 /bag of 4 pieces)

It’s not the soft, blistery bread you get at restaurants. A little doughy for me, but DL loves trying different types of take-home naan. We are on a continuous quest to find a naan to be the perfect accompaniment to DL’s curry dishes.

Samosas ($10.00 /bag of 5)

Chubby and so tasty. Somebody needs to start a food truck that just sells samosas. Traditional fillings and maybe some untraditional fillings. Wouldn’t that be great? This is the idea I keep screaming into the television screen every time I catch an episode of *America’s Next Fast Food Stall. I know, it's a guilty pleasure.
*When will that Chipoltle-founder guy stop insisting that everything has to be a wrap or a taco??

Loads of bedding plants are available today.


Not all the Saturday morning stalls are occupied this early in the season but I imagine as the weeks go on, familiar vendors will appear in those empty spaces.
