We Still Have Strawberries?
YES! Thanks to Deeply Rooted Farms' expertise we still have delicious, local, fresh from the field strawberries at our market. We are one of the few markets in the State that is blessed with their presence and we want them to know that we certainly don't take it for granted!
The late summer crops are coming to harvest and many are overly abundant - meaning we need to figure out how to use them fresh or "put up". We have a recipe tasting at the market each week using what's available which would help with some of the abundance.
We also have LOTS of information available on our website for other recipes. "Putting up" is a wonderful way to enjoy field fresh flavor over the winter. We've offered workshops in the past for those who want to learn how to. If this is of interest to you, let us know.
The photo contest featuring the I Love Farmers Markets temporary tattoos is open until September 30. Contest guidelines and submission forms are available at the market and on our website.
Our full list of participating vendors for this Saturday is listed at the end of this newsletter. For what's different than usual this week, see Market Notes below.
