Lady Hiva and I both needed our Saturday market fix, Istanbul really spoiled us. We
were so happy to find out that Provo City does a Farmer’s Market on Saturdays
in the big city park in the middle of town. We decided to go check it out.
It may not be as crowded or full of fresh vegetables as the
market we enjoyed in Istanbul, but it had some vegetables and some really great
prepared food. There were crepes (cheaper than Farmer’s Markets in Northern
Virginia), fresh French macarons (two different booths of them) that were so
delicious, popcorn popped fresh (wasn’t my favorite, but Lady Hiva was so happy
they sold large bags of it! I may never understand), and we had some homemade tamales
made by a small Mexican family who had set up a cute little table for us to
enjoy the food under a tree. Other foods
we could have enjoyed had we not eaten right before we went included a brick
oven pizza truck, cotton candy, chocolates Hawaiian Shave Ice, and a taco truck.
We had so much fun walking around and seeing the booths
manned by families who have worked to provide food or craft products. It was
amazing to watch them proudly talk about all of the details of whatever they
have to sell. We admired wood crafts, smelled scented candles, looked at some…creative…art and listened to the groups of elderly people playing music.
We had a good time. As the summer moves on we hope to see more
vegetable and fruit options—again we realized that besides the quirkiness at
times, we thought that moving to Utah may just be alright after all.
