I am not a morning person. I could probably count good reasons for waking up early on one hand. The Waco Farmers Market, however, is most certainly one of the fingers on that hand.
A few of my friends from church and I piled into the car last Saturday for my first trip to the Farmers Market. It was rather cold, so everyone was wrapped in scarves and jackets. Yet everyone was cheerful, as we chatted excitedly all the way downtown.
In the heart of Waco, under a small grove of trees, next to an old tower, sits the white tents of the Farmers Market. The cold didn't stop too many of the locals, as they gathered around the stalls with their children and dogs playing close by.
My eyes caught on a muffin stall, and my life group leader was kind enough to buy us some fresh baked mini muffins!

There was also purple cauliflower and delicious blueberry jam! Many delicious purple things. I also purchased, and devoured ravenously for the next few minutes, a strawberry and nutella crepe! I hadn't had a crepe in years, and luckily, the line for the famous crepe tent was short at the time.
Something another girl bought was a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich called "The Boss", with Gouda cheese, bacon, and basil on sourdough bread. She even let me try a bite! Unsurprisingly, it was absolutely wonderful. The sharp bite of the Gouda and the juicy follow up of the bacon was perfection!
That sandwich isn't the only one who's a boss!
Besides all the food, it was nice to chat with friends and Wacoans alike, as everyone gathered under the trees and took a break from life.
