The Perfect Pantry®

Market to Pantry #23: Aspen and Telluride farmers markets, Colorado

From Donna (Cooking+Praying), in McLean, Virginia:

The backdrop for both of these farmers markets is stunning -- the heights of Rocky Mountains. Both are open-air markets and both are open one day a week from June through October. And both markets focus on local food produced in Colorado -- fruits and vegetables, meats (including bison and elk), baked goods, cider, and fresh-cut flowers.

Market to Pantry #22: Havana, Cuba

From Diana (MaudeRubyPearl), in Riverside, California:

Okay, so this one is cheating a little bit because it isn't a market we're able to frequent; however, it is a market my husband and I visited and loved this year. This past November we traveled to Cuba with some friends. This little open-air market is nestled in the city of Havana, between tall apartment buildings. It is shaped like an old Chianti bottle, with a long alley for an entrance, and then a round, wide bottom.

Market to Pantry #21: SoWa Open Market, Boston, Massachusetts

From Carol (Cabinet Stew), in Lynn, Massachusetts:

I finally got around to visiting the SoWa Open Market in Boston. This is the "South of Washington" farmers market.

Market to Pantry #20: Pekanbaru Market, Sumatra, Indonesia

From Ben, in Alameda, California:

Pekanbaru is located in central Sumatra; it's closer to Singapore than to Jakarta. We went to the marketplace on a Friday night; it was very busy, and had very nice selection of fresh fruit and numerous different rices.
