点评:When you're in the Springfield, MA area on a Tuesday, and want to visit Forest Park, be sure to catch the Farmer's Market where you'll find wonderful home grown/produced items.
We especially love Doce Mercer, known for corporate gift boxes and confections, but here at the local market with homemade Portuguese-style breads like English muffins, Portuguese rolls, and focaccia. Michelle and her daughter Martika offer excellent bread goods, and quite affordable, if not a wee bit underpriced in this economy. We're grateful for the good deals, but want them to stay in biz.
We also get our bakery breads from Berkshire Mountain Bakery, because their sourdough breads and pastries are the best anywhere. We find their breads life-changing because they're really breads, made with double fermentation and offering an amazing variety like jalepino-cheese ciabattas, San Francisco sourdough and baguettes. Amazing breads.
Tom's honey products and fresh farm eggs is another "can't miss" vendor, who even with the rising egg prices has kept his product very affordable.
Also we love Plum Island Jams, which have to be the best on the planet. The pineapple coconut is my fav, but there isn't one I can resist.
Of course we love fresh produce, and there are several choices at the market.
Families can also find picnic table where they can enjoy food truck fare from hot dogs to ice cream to pizza and more.
Then there's the park itself offering great scenery and a zoo.

我们特别喜欢 Doce Mercer,它以企业礼品盒和糖果而闻名,但在当地市场上也有自制的葡萄牙风格面包,如英式松饼、葡萄牙面包卷和佛卡夏面包。米歇尔和她的女儿马蒂卡提供优质的面包商品,而且价格相当实惠,在当前的经济形势下,即使价格不是被低估了一点点。我们对这些优惠表示感谢,但希望它们继续营业。
我们还从伯克希尔山面包店购买烘焙面包,因为他们的酸面包和糕点是世界上最好的。我们发现他们的面包改变了我们的生活,因为它们是真正的面包,经过双重发酵制成,提供令人惊叹的品种,如墨西哥胡椒奶酪夏巴塔面包、旧金山酸面团和法棍面包。很棒的面包。
汤姆的蜂蜜产品和新鲜农场鸡蛋是另一个“不容错过”的供应商,即使鸡蛋价格上涨,他的产品仍然非常实惠。
我们还喜欢普拉姆岛果酱,它一定是地球上最好的。菠萝椰子是我的最爱,但我无法抗拒。
当然,我们喜欢新鲜农产品,市场上有多种选择。
家庭还可以在野餐桌上享用餐车美食,从热狗到冰淇淋到披萨等。
然后是公园本身,风景优美,还有一个动物园。
