Some people imagine a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I believe that the end of a rainbow resembles the inside of Stiles. Stiles is a small, but permanent, farmers market near our apartment. There are no frills to this shopping experience because Stiles is essentially a large tent assembled on the edge of a parking lot. Every day, local suppliers bring in crates and crates of fruit, vegetables, breads, herbs and… joy. Then they stack the bounty high in wooden bins.
On a cold winter day, Stiles is bursting with rows of vibrant colored fruits and vegetables. Now, one reason people travel from all over town to shop there are the unbeatable prices. You can literally leave with bags and bags of fresh produce and still spend less than $5. Also, they have 75 cent packages of pitas that have more than once been transformed into pita pizzas for our family dinner
So, if I ever find myself at the end of a rainbow and there happens to be a pot of gold, I'm taking that gold and heading to Stiles to stock up on delicious produce.
