Berkeley Farmers Market

I've driven by the Berkeley Farmer's market at least one hundred times since we moved back tot he bay area. I checked it out from afar, and despite missing the markets in France, never ventured in. A hyper allergy to all things crunchy was what kept me away, but I have become more and more convinced that eating local organic food when you can is the way to go (from a nutritional standpoint, at the very least). Well it turns out it's awesome. I bought some great carrots, chard and potatoes, as well as some farm fresh butter and $4 eggs. Yeah that's right: four dollar eggs. Some dudes show off their earning power with BMWs and Swiss tourbillon watches, but it's all about the beta carotene rich free range chicken eggs for me.
