I’m back from vacation and have some shots I took along the way. First is the farm market that I wish I lived near, Bergman Orchards. No, they don’t seem to have a website of their own. How old-fashioned.
It starts, of course, with the fruit and veggies. Like the huge, gorgeous peaches. A peck should do, right honey?
And maybe some strawberries? Nah, we’ll take the cherries.
And Ana insisted on a watermelon …
… while Nancy picked out the corn.
But this market has more than just raw produce. Lots of it goes into the jams and preserves.
Or if you want to dress up your veg a little bit, there’s the huge selection of spices.
Then of course there’s the candy.
And the cookies.
And the cakes.
All made on-site, of course.
But the thing that makes Bergman unique is the selection of breads.
If you can’t make it out on the labels, that’s: banana bread, zucchini bread, garlic bread, cheese bread, garlic cheese bread, Italian herb and cheese bread, butter herb bread, jalapeño cheese bread, pepperoni cheese roll, pepperoni pizza bread, pizza bread, Parmesan bread, summer tomato bread, Buffalo bread, sour cream and chive bread … and then you get into the sweet ones.
I don’t have a shot of all the different sweet, fruity varieties. Just the ones we got.
Yum.
I’ll be back tomorrow with dinner on the island.

I do believe I would have pitched a tent near the peach stand and had my vacation right there.
We have a nice orchard near here that is similar, but that one looks a lot more plentiful.
Beautiful pics!
Welcome home! I can see that food was never far from you on your vacation . . . fruits and vegetables are so photogenic, aren’t they?
April, that would only work if they set up a grill out back and brought in the steak. Man does not live by peaches alone. Not this one, anyway.
Kristin, you think that’s photogenic, wait until you see the next ones.
Drew, I’m a Georgia girl who grew up in Peach County (yes, it’s really the name of the county)! I might be disowned by the state if I didn’t claim I could live off peaches alone.
I believe you about where you’re from. After all, Georgia named a county after Vidalia onions, too.
Very nice. I would be concerned with loss of quality in the breads, since so many are made at once. But it’s the best way to turn a profit, so who am I to judge?
Home made bread is one of lifes little pleasures…
My daughters and I didn’t like the black raspberry bread, but I don’t really like rasbberries so I wasn’t expecting to like it. Everything else we’ve tried — garlic, garlic and cheese, apple and cinnamon, and I think one or two others — have been great.
