 Wonderful Watermelon! In this heat, we were looking for what might be refreshing and we turned to watermelon. All by itself, it is tasty and refreshing. And it helps you stay hydrated - critically important in this weather. Our recipe this week features watermelon and cucumbers, another cooling vegetable.

SUSTAINABLE TIP OF THE WEEK NATIONAL FARMERS' MARKET WEEK! This is the week we celebrate farmers' markets across the country, so please pay special attention to thanking our farmers for participating in our market. It is a LOT of work - growing, harvesting, packing to get to market, selling at market. We need them to know how much we appreciate them. |
