Lunch and The City - Country Meets City

Back in April when I did my first "Lunch and The City" post I mentioned that in the warmer months there is a farmer's market right across from my office building.  When I stepped out for lunch today I was happy to see it's back!  A real sign of spring/summer that put me a happy mood.  I had to walk over before I even got my lunch.

This farmer's market is actually called Boston Public Market and is located in Dewey Square, across from South Station at 600 Atlantic Avenue, Boston.  It's a mix of Massachusetts farms and bakeries selling their organic or all natural goods right in the middle of the city's hustle and bustle.

Here are few I visited:
Stow Greenhouses selling fresh cut flowers.

"When Pigs Fly" all natural breads.
"
 I love the name of this bread, it cracks me up.
I sampled some chocolate bread, so good.

Kimball Fruit Farm had herbs and vegetables today

Hi-Rise Bakery from Cambridge looks like some more nice breads.  I was thinking about giving up bread, um not ready to do that yet.


This guy was selling some beautiful plants...
but I didn't catch the name of his farm because I was distracted by "Baking with Joy" an all natural bakery!



They were offering 13 different samples!  I tried an oatmeal and jam thingy and blond brownie.  I had to get out of there and go get a salad before my lunch became the 13 different baked goods samples.

Boston Public Market is comes to Dewey Square every Tuesday and Thursday May 28 to October 30th.
