On National Farmers Market Week (Part I): Celebrating Croatian markets


Farmers Market on last Wednesday in May, just outside Korcula city walls
I was in Slovenia and Croatia in May and had the opportunity to visit many farmers markets.  Now, on National Farmers Market week in the United States, I'm going to focus on the Croatian markets, from Trogir and Split to Dubrovnik, including one island, Korcula, off the Dalmatian coast.   Of course, the larger markets were in the larger cities, including Split and Dubrovnik.    All photos are (c) Lisa R.

Cherries and onions, Korcula 
When I asked the woman selling cherries in Korcula whether they were locally grown--because it didn't seen like cherry growing climate--she replied, "yes, the other side of the islnd."Here's a recent post about a farmers market in Madison, Wisconsin.
