Beautiful produce! I've been to auctions, but not for food!
Auction for food? That means you will have to buy a lot if you bid for them, right?
What a cool auction! A food auction is new to me, but why not? Love the photos, especially the horses.. This would be a cute post for my critter party, if you would like to link it up! Happy weekend!
Never heard of a food auction but the colours and variety are wonderful. Love the horses. Have a great weekend.
