RE: Does Anyone Know What I’m Posting For #foodfightfriday?
GOPRO + FARMER MARKET = ULTIMATE HIPSTER
but then
WRITIN + HIPHOP BATTLE = ULTIMATE GANGSTER !!!
So this market looks amazing, we were arguing with my wife is it was a bit pricey or not, we can see on one of the pic that it says "Pic 3 items" for $5 so I can get whatever I want?
It means 3 carrots for 5 dols? 3 peppers?
I need to knoooooooooooooooooooow!
The three for $5’s you’re seeing I believe reference all of the baskets; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc. are all fresh picked that day and then you can mix and match them and walk away with 3 different baskets for $5 total.
As far as the rest of the produce, it’s similar to a market, they have scales at their iPad or phone or whatever they’re using to transact. We go there weekly because the pricing is affordable, we trust the products and the people are really nice, you kinda develop a repor with them. It isn’t abnormal to leave a booth with...
2 tomatoes.
An onion.
3 limes.
3 apples.
Brussels sprouts.
A bushel of broccoli.
Total: $6.80 and everything is always fresh. Talk about organize dude!! A thin of strawberries is only going to last a couple days, same goes for most of it. It’s frikin organic dude!
Thanks for stopping by @edprivat, it’s always a pleasure hearing from the busiest man I know.
Ps. Pura Vida’s gonna be Behind the bar all day, your opening line was sofa king dope, I’ll have plenty of time today to ready it as much as I want! Lol.
Jeez this can be affordable if it's 3 baskets!!!
And I dunno if it's the gopro, but they look huge, those beetroots and radishes look incredible !
"it’s always a pleasure hearing from the busiest man I know." LoL soon enough we gonna slow down :)
PS it took me an hour to realize the word play on sofa king dope
You’re quicker than most!
Hey I’m glad you responded because I forgot to tell you that was the dopest opening to read first thing this am about the hipster... gangster... that was sofa king dope! <- you got it that time though!
Yes, absolutely affordable! Surprisingly affordable. And bro amazing quality. SO SO SO organic, this produce doesn’t last but 3-5 days max! Whereas the supermarket you know,, it’ll stay in the fridge for a week or two. <— Mornal.
So you're a Higster?
But where does all that delicious food comes from , homesteaders around the area or bigger shops?
I am sure there's no preservative hence why they must be consumed quickly!
Oh ya man, everything is local. Before I forget.. yes, the GoPro is amazing, it actually takes better pictures than anything I’ve ever seen but those radishes, carrots, etc aren’t magnified, lol, it’s not ‘that’ good. I trip out on how big that stuff is, too, a softball-size onion is small?!? Where have I been?
All of the produce, honey, nuts, etc at the farmers market is locally grown. Hence you can’t get tomatoes (for example) there year round like a super market. Us westerners have a horrible false reality that produce is just supposed to be available year round.
So we talk to all of the growers and get to know them, there’s people there selling bread, dairy free desserts, etc. The farthest farm from any of the vendors I’m going to guess is an hour and a half’s drive away.
For example, this image here where you saw the 3-$5:
The label in their honey says Fallbrook, California. It’s not even a 30 minute drive from where we are in LA. I think the farthest one I’ve been made aware of is an almond Garner in Temecula, California. That’s about a 2 hour drive from where the images were taken in LA County.
