Farmers market

September 13, 2007

Today we went to Portree for our weekly shopping (supermarket), a visit to the optician and to take a peek at the Farmer’s market, a place where you can buy local produce: veggies, meat, bread etc.

Well, to be honest the market was a bit of a disappointment. There were only three booths - one selling plants, one selling vegetables and one selling pastries and bread. On the other hand, the weather was horrible with steady rain and fierce winds. Also, the tourist season is coming to an end. There are way less camper vans and foreign cars on the island now, so the majority of local producers must have decided that these conditions were not good for business. And right they were… it was very quiet in Portree.
