Sac Foodies

By Melinda McRae     

The downtown plaza has a great farmers’ market on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  We usually head over at lunch time, but last week we had a staff meeting so ended up going close to 2:00, which ended up being very fortuitous for us as you can get incredible bargains!  The farmers bagged up their produce and some of our bounty included a huge bag of peaches, pluots and nectarines for $3; huge bag of seedless red grapes $3; cantaloupe $2; bag of green grapes $1.50; bag of pears $1.50; three gorgeous heirloom tomatoes for $1, and flowers for $3 a bunch.
