SFN: Farmers’ Market Update
by Darya Rose | Sep 5, 2008
With all the events last weekend I nearly forgot to tell you all about the delicious food I bought at the Slow Food Nation Market:
- Baby Purple Queen Beans (McGrath Family Farm. See pic.)
- Haricots verts (McGrath Family Farm. See pic.)
- Strawberries (Yerena Farm)
- Charentais melons (Full Belly Farm)
- Blueberry jam (Loulou’s Garden)
- English cucumber
- Summer squash
- Dry-farmed early girl tomatoes
- SFN t-shirt
From Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market:
- Padrones (Happy Quail Farms)
- Red hot chili peppers (Happy Quail Farms)
- Heirloom tomatoes (Ella Bella Farm)
- Flavor King pluots (Frog Hollow)
I usually buy regular green beans or French green beans when they’re available. Do the purple ones taste different?
zamley:Good for you! The purple ones didn’t taste particularly different (though both varieties were especiallly sweet and flavorful), but the color made them absolutely beautiful!! Almost like velvet.
