Handblown spice jars arranged in front of organic teas
I was downtown today and happened to hit the Farmers Market on a Wedneday for the first time. It may not be as big as Saturday’s market, but the quality and variety of the vendors is impressive. I stopped to talk to Tim Howe, who was setting up a booth with rows of organic spices and teas, and his crystalline pink Himalayan salt caught my eye. He sells all kinds of interesting varieties — all organic — and I bought samples of “Quiet Child” tea along with a fruity tea called “Mango Ceylon.”
The fresh veggies are winding down as the summer heat starts to come on strong, but there are still hydroponic offerings, as well as honey, plants, and other items you won’t find anywhere else.
The Farmers Market is open Wednesdays from 11-4, and Saturdays from 8-2, 200 N. Kentucky Ave.
