I had the unique opportunity to taste many delights at the Ojai and Ventura Famers Markets this weekend and wrote a piece about it for the VC Reporter. It was a blessed Easter weekend — spring has sprung at the markets and there are lots of new products and surprises in store! For a slideshow of lots of photos! and more information about new products and vendors, (particularly at the Ojai Market), visit my blog.
Mange!

We also indulged in fresh curds of cheese ($5 for half a pound) from Ojai’s cheese guru — you’ll recognize him by the triangle of cheese on his head and the shirt that reads “What a friend we have in Cheeses.” We dipped the chewy delicious curds in some Mt. Olive Organic Pear Butter ($5 per jar) for an out-of-this-world taste explosion. The pear butter had the light grit of pear and the cinnamon and spice combination of unfiltered apple juice — divine!
