Farmer's Market Fun

So tonight is going to be more of a photo sampling rather than a food write up.  Made a journey to the Urban Harvest Farmer's Market on a scorching August day, enjoy.
Pears... Don't know what kind these are exactly but the only thing we were told about them is they do the opposite of normal pears, rather than turning green when they ripen, they turn yellow.  Yes, they are delicious.
Spoiled goats... how could you not love it?  Goats are great.
I have never seen so many eggplants in my life as I saw at this market... I guess it must be eggplant season since these are all organic but they are over my head in terms of seasons.
No idea what these even are, but they had some good color to them.
Picked up some good Texas olive oil, a nice stout flavor much stronger than the olive oil I was used to, but a nice change up.
Then came the real star of the farmer's market, especially considering the 1,000,000 degree temperatures that were melting us as we walked around.  I love the Eatsie Boys food and this is their new addition to the family, an ice cream truck.
If you can see the menu here it is a fun gourmet assortment of flavors that made choosing hard to do.
In the end the decision was Arnold Palmer sorbet and to be honest it was delicious.  An Arnold Palmer is a famous golfer, or in this case a mix of iced tea and lemonade, and in sorbet form it was tart and smooth and perfect in this ridiculous Houston summer heat.
