Cary Nosler was known for years to Sacramento radio and TV listeners/viewers as Captain Carrot, the health foods guy. Cary was into health foods long before they became popular. He joins Mark and Tom to talk about [farmer's markets](http://www.farmersmarketonline.com/fm/California.htm), his favorites and what makes a good farmer's market. Won't be long until we will all be in search of that perfect spring or summer fruit or vegetable.
