Fruits and vegetables
Published April 9, 2012 / by Steve Berentson
Weekend sun and out of town guests drew us to the Farmer’s Market, where we were disappointed to discover site improvements have delayed the market’s opening. No worries. We headed up the street to Anacortes Market, where the grocery store has created its own outdoor market at the front entry. Among selections of fresh fruit, vegetables and wildflowers were bundles of asparagus. Good for me, I’m told … and delicious, too.
About Steve Berentson
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
