Moss Street Market in August

On Saturday morning, I decided to visit the Moss Street Market, a nice short bus ride from where I am staying downtown for a week.  It’s the last weekend of August and the market was just bustling with people.  I shopped up and down the “food lane” where all the farm vendors are setup with wide tents, underneath of which their tables are piled high with produce.  After filling my shopping bag with produce, I stop at the Fairfield Market, kitty corner, to buy fresh Cowichan Pasta and Galloping Goose Sausages.

My Haul from the Moss Street Market

Sorry no meal photos!  I was too busy out and about enjoying the Fringe Festival to take photos of everything I made (and honestly most of it was eaten pretty well basic/plain as fresh, in-season vegetables should be appreciated).  The Cowichan Pasta (asparagus variety) was delicious, as was all it!  I had also picked up some Farmer Ben’s Eggs (Cowichan Valley) and Little Qualicum brie cheese from the Market on Yates earlier in the day, which I paired with fresh Cascadia sourdough bread and Galloping Goose Sausage for breakfasts… those I snapped a quick photo of..!
