Today we're starting a little mini series featuring Alabama farmers' markets and produce. Today, grab a peach basket and let's start our stroll around the Pepper Place Market. The Market at the Pepper Place began in 2000 as only a summer market but has grown to become almost year around.It's the happening place on Saturdays from 7-12. There are of course fresh produce but now it's expanded to hand crafted goods, music, chef demonstrations as well as baked goods and so much more.
Ask anyone from the south what these are, and they'll say, "Peach baskets!" Of course farmers use them for a variety of fruits and vegetables, but we still call 'em peach baskets. Nowadays they display them in these but put your purchases in plastic bags. If you can get your hands on one, consider yourself lucky!
