A tour of the Trenton Farmers Market

So, I met this lady that was producing a show for Princeton T.V. She would interview kids from the Princeton YMCA to get their thoughts on healthy snacks that could be picked up at the local Trenton Farmers market. She asked if my 5-year old, Ved who happened to be a Y camper would like to be part of that production. I agreed because...Hey, I believe in healthy snack and if a T.V. program was going to get Ved excited about substituting cookies for fruit, I'm all for it!



I escorted a shy Ved to the Trenton Farmers market but once he was there and was assigned to his lady friend Y buddy, Mel, he settled down happily into his role.

While Ved was busy doing his shoot, I took some fantastic pictures at the Trenton market. Oooh the fresh Jersey tomatoes, peaches, peppers, eggplant, and the popular local meat store. As I walked around, I talked with farmers about their produce and learned about the great blueberry and peaches this season. I also was excited to share how I am using their golden peaches, roma tomatoes and purple eggplant for the line of condiments that I am developing.
