medicine be thy food” What we put in our mouth has a natural impact on our
overall health. Hillcrest Farmer Market is a trend setter in setting the pace

cities. They offer a wide range of vegetables, fruit, food, seafood, flowers,
and homemade products made by local artisans and small farmers who seek to strengthen
their home based businesses.
One of the best features of this market is that it is fun to
simply just peruse the offerings even if you don’t immediately busy something.
One can spend more than an hour eating, browsing and crowd watching. The smell
of grilled food permeates the air with small white blooms of smoke that rise as
beacons to taste bud delight. Sauce dripping hamburgers, freshly charred lamb
meat and sweet pies are some of the tantalizing treats that will make their way
across your nose.
If you are more interested in the fruits and vegetables plenty
of farmers make their way to the market from the city’s outskirts to display
their harvest. Some of the best deals in the city can be found on this street
right out in the open for you to pick over. At times you will find the prices
less than half the local supermarket as farmers seek to unload the rest of
their items. You can’t get fresher than dirt to mouth existence of local farmer
market products.
Freshly cut flowers are almost always on the shopping list.
Hillcrest Farmer’s Market offers choice flowers from local greenhouses that
have been babied from nursery to market graduation. Recently cut and well
manicured they attract their own crowd of enthusiasts. Buyers put them on their
kitchen table to brighten and room and freshen the atmosphere. Few things beat
the natural décor of Mother Nature’s handiwork.
One of the main attractions is the natural and small
manufacturing groceries offered by vendors. Want to cook something for the
grill? Buy grass fed chicken or pick up some natural beef. Perhaps you need
some smoked cheese or organic eggs. The market focuses on organic and naturally
produced offerings without all the preservatives and pesticides.
