SAVOR THE FLAVORS OF SUMMER

Fresh from the field produce is really starting to kick in after a slow start.  The heat, the rain and now sunny dry days all contribute to plants increasing their growth spurts.  In some cases (think lettuces) they are getting ahead of themselves.

Lots available including cucumbers, cabbage, variety of carrots, dandelion greens, lettuces, variety of onions, nasturtium flowers and shoots, kale, summer squash, beets, tomatoes, raspberries, etc.

We have been promised peaches for August 1 and there's a chance we will have local corn this week, but don't hold your breath! 

Here's what's happening other than normal this week at market.

Market Notes

• Troy Brook Bakery is with us bringing her fabulous regular and gluten free baked goods.
• Acre of Independence Farm enjoyed their first week at the market and sent us a lovely note about how welcoming other vendors and the customers were.  If you haven't met them yet, please stop by and check out their produce and value added products. 
• Mockingbird Kitchen and Bar has promised to bring pistachio, lentil tabbouleh to the market this week along with sesame noodles and perhaps a surprise.
• Terra Vera Garden is absent this week.
• Berry Ledges Apiary product will be at the market, but the Bakers are taking the week off.  Look for the honey in their normal spot. 
• Nonprofit - Department of Children and Families with information on fostering
• Guest Musician - Joey Berglund

Anna Gill's column is titled Beeting the Odd with some beautiful pictures (we enjoy them as much as her writing and her recipes!).  She features a truly quick and simple pickling recipe and refers to other beet recipes on our website. 
                                                                                                                                    
See you at the market Saturday, outdoors at Center School parking lot.
