Farmers' Market - Claremont

Farmers' Market - Claremont 1


For quaintness, the Farmers' Market in Claremont has to be one of my favorites just for how cute the downtown, otherwise referred to as The Village, is to walk around. Tree-lined streets and lots of little shops and restaurants.

The Farmers' Market doesn't just sell fruits and vegetables. There's art.

  2. CC,
    The purple carrots were really cool. In color and taste. A little deeper carroty flavor. BTW, I know how you like trivia. "Teen Wolf" was filmed in Claremont.
