Farmers Market Time!,

http://www.debbiegiordano.com/I really have to suggest that you try the berryessa farmers market on the border of Milpitas and San Jose. Located across from Piedmont High School and the Berryessa US Post office in the foothills of North San Jose's Penitencia Creek Area. The amount of fresh produce and other assorted food items as well as fresh cut flowers really make this a pleasurable 30 minutes to an hour stop. Plenty of vendors are offering samples too for those that are looking for a cooking adventure. Try something new or pick up something fresh and support California Grown and local farmers at the same time. Open Saturdays from May to October. Very friendly smoke free environment. Some of the items I picked up this last weekend included Blueberries, Strawberries and Cherry's. Not to mention spicy mango chutney, some potato paratha breat and some meat pies. Across the street, the Piedmont High School jazz band was also washing cars for any donation. This area is also marked off as being 'bike' friendly so if you like your exercise, bring your bike along. No dogs or smoking as previously stated. Last Saturday (memorial day weekend) it was still a bit smoky due to the Santa Cruz fire going on in neighboring Santa Cruz County about thirty or so miles away. This farmers market is only three or so miles outside of the south Milpitas border and is within five mintes driving time. Go early if you can, and be cautious. There is a Kettle Korn booth so if you are bringing the kids, be prepared!
