Visiting West Palm Beach GreenMarket on opening day

During the summer, when forced to eat greens from California, I longed for the return of the GreenMarket in West Palm Beach. Local produce rules there. That's why I happily stopped by the GreenMarket before my Saturday yoga class at the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach.

This golden retriever was wearing a "Wide Retriever"
football jersey. But he didn't stay to join the contest.

Saturday mornings, before yoga at the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach, I park in the Banyan Street garage for free and make my way down to the GreenMarket.

I buy greens from my favorite vendor, Stephen's Produce. The proprietor of that stand and Stephen's dad, Ken Shuler, often sells out of what-I-consider the primo greens by the time yoga is over. I select and pay for my greens before yoga, and Ken is nice enough to hold them in his coolers for me.

It also gives me a chance to scope out the market and their special events. This past Saturday, they had a Halloween costume contest for dogs at 11 a.m.
