Last Sunday, I went to the San Rafael Farmer's Market, which is in full winter swing. Christmas trees and cider were there, along with broccoli, kale, citrus, persimmons, carrots, brussels sprouts, potatoes, and many different kinds of squashes. The colors have changed from the summer; there are more oranges and greens and browns, and less reds.
I hope you enjoy these photos that I took, along with the recipe suggestions.

Mmmm - thank you for the wonderful recipe suggestions. So far, I've tried the Mushroom Soup, which is fantastic (I went with pureed) and the Pork Tenderloin and Squash Puree. And thanks for the pictures, which inspired me to get to the local (LA) Farmer's market, though it didn't have all the variety San Rafael had.
