The first Saturday of the month means the organic market in a local park and this felt like a perfect place for my 5 in 5 joining Sandie in her suggestion to spend 5 minutes taking photos and them to choose 5 to share.
Turning in through the gate we can see that there are a good number of stalls set up
the lovely anticipation of seeing familiar regulars and the hope of something new and exciting too
I always buy cake form the lovely German ladies – often ‘beesting’ or pear Danish pastries but this month I went for a marzipan cake ( at the back with raspberries on top) and a raspberry torte. I always take along a plastic box to protect the goodies in my bag
Next door to them is the organic vegetable man – I visited his massive walled garden with my Dad’s gardening group last year so always have a chat as well as buying some produce – kale and fennel this time. I’m not sure if he thinks it is an advantage having the stall next to the music group – sometimes they are very loud
Another new regular stop for me is a stall selling African and Carribean food – this month her husband and son were doign teh selling – not as chatty as the lady who makes the food and is often there. I got a pork gumbo patty a piece of cornbread and some ‘kenyan doughnuts flavoured with cardamom.
Nothing new and enticing this month but pleased to see these 3 regulars were there.

It's always a treat to go to the market on a Saturday and find something special to keep you going over the weekend. I like the idea of bringing a plastic box with me!
I envy you the range of foodstuffs available to you - what a visual and taste-bud treat you have taken us along to! I might be put off by the loud music too :).
I would love to have market like this that I could shop at. I can't get over how GREEN everything is there...the grass looks so lush.
How clever to take a plastic box with you!

The market here is still a few weeks away here. This one looks great.
Oh! I love going to the Organic Market when it comes to town. Great idea to take a box!
Our market (all organic) runs from late May to October. I can't wait for it to get underway. The stalls in yours are so colorful!
What a lovely focus for 5 in 5, Helena, it is very multicultural and a wonderful opportunity to try new things. Taking a box is a great idea to protect your bakes.
The market looks so interesting thank you for this visit and introduction to the people you meet there.
What an inspiring little market - the plastic box is a good tip.
What a lovely market! And, oh, the marzipan cake .... yum!
