Every Saturday morning come rain, fog, or shine, for over 30 years I've been going to the Aptos Farmer's Market in the parking lots of Cabrillo College. The following photos are from the Saturday just before Halloween. These are some of my favorite vendors and, of course, images of the wonderful flowers, fruits, veggies, and wares they offer for sale.
