Today’s blog is about a visit to Pepper Place in Birmingham, Alabama. They are located at 2829 2nd Avenue South, about three blocks north of Highway 78 and three blocks east of the Red Mountain Expressway. It is an odd place for a farmer’s market, right in the center of a mostly industrial area. Parking isn’t a problem since most of the businesses are closed on Saturday.
Since we are trying to eat better foods, we decided to check it out. Organic, local flavor is now my favorite, without all the industrial additives. The organic part was somewhat of a disappointment, only seeing one vendor. There was plenty of local grown produce and vendors with various wares, from jewelry to plants and even a car dealer showing off a Scion.
It was crowded at times with plenty of dogs and babies in the mix as well. We saw a cooking demonstration and even wandered through a furniture store nearby. A large restaurant is open, plus outdoor sellers have many different foods.
We purchased strawberries, peaches, squash, and earrings. Please visit their website for more info. I would have to say it’s a nice Saturday morning outing!
Realizing that pictures are worth a thousand words, here you go…
