 Bountiful BerriesThe rain and the sun have worked their magic (with a lot of help from our farmers!) and the berries are ready to be harvested. There will be a variety of them at the market this week, so get your taste buds ready. We noticed last week that many of them never made it out of the market, as customers young and old were seen walking around eating them one at a time from the containers. So good tasting, and so good for you. In answer to your questions as to when the dahlias will be at market, we checked in with the grower and she is hoping for the first week in August - though this heat is putting a monkey wrench in that prediction. We will keep you posted. WE STILL NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS. We are seeking additions to our wonderful group of volunteers of all ages who make it possible to bring the market to you each week. It doesn't take a lot of time, but makes a HUGE difference in our ability to set-up and break down the market efficiently. If you have half an hour to give at 9 am or 1 pm, let us know. We'd welcome your support! We'll see you at the market on Saturday - regardless of the temperature! Market NotesHere are some highlights of the market this week. For a full list of vendors, see the end of the newsletter.
Anna Gill's column is titled Cool Slaw and gives the history of slaw, including the origin of the name. The Dutch called it koolsla, meaning finely shredded cabbage in a vinaigrette. But slaw has many ethnic and ingredient variations which you'll learn from her column. Her recipe this week is Celery, Fennel, Apple and Radish slaw. Wonderful cooling taste for these hot summer days. See you at the market Saturday, July 6, OUTDOORS at Center School Parking Lot. Sustainable Tip of the WeekHere are a few hints for mazimizing your visit to farmers' markets from the Farmers Market Coalition.
