Sunnyvale Resident Grace Keng from RE/MAX RES

A lively place be in Saturday morning - that is South Murphy Ave in downtown Sunnyvale from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The framers' market is bustling from beginning to end with around 50 vendors, displaying, offering and sampling their freshest fruits and vegetables, From kettle popcorn, breads, handmade tortillas, French crepes,fresh fish, sausage, dips, olive oils, flowers, orchids to fresh cut flowers. There so many long time Sunnyvale residents are the Sunnyvale Farmers' market. I love to go the Farmers' market every now and then. This is one of my little niece's favourite place. Many discussion groups meet early in the morning at outside tables of one of the local coffee houses. A great location for people to wonder around or just watch what is going on the Saturday morning.
