PURCELLVILLE IS HOME TO A LOVELY FARMERS MARKET FOR EARLY SPRING SHOPPING.

ANOTHER SURE SIGN OF SPRING IN LOUDOUN COUNTY, THE FARMERS MARKETS ARE OPEN . . . . . .

Delisious Whole Wheat Bread Tender Aquatic Grown Lettuce.

Whole wheat bread and tender tasty lettuce. Sounds like lunch. Some of this didn't make it home.

Tents set up in the parking lot of the Town Hall. A wonderful variety of early spring offerings.

Items offered at this early Farmers Market include homemade blackberry, damson, strawberry jams. I bought the damson. Who doesn't love damson jam?

Other items included knitted scarfs, sausages, cheeses, fresh eggs, a variety of baked goods.

One stall had a lovely variety of fresh herbs. However, this I didn' buy because I grow thyme, oregano, basil and other tasty herbs in my sun room.

Soon our Farmers Markets will be offering a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. They usually come in around the first week in July. I can't wait.
