Photo Diary: Farmers’ Markets
For the freshest produce and seafood, locals in Portland, Amsterdam and Tokyo know exactly where to go: the local farmers’ market. The real decision is choosing which market to go to for your daily/weekly grocery shopping. Portland has many farmers’ markets scattered throughout the city and outer suburbs, Amsterdam boasts a wide variety of markets from flea to flower, farmers, and books markets, including Noordermarkt (Amsterdam Northern Market), and Tokyo’s crown market jewel is the Tsukiji Market–the largest open seafood market in the world. So where will you shop?
