Farmers’ Market Update
by Darya Rose | Sep 20, 2008
Things are changing fast folks! Just look at Capay Organics’ display of watermelon and pumpkin. Winter squash and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts will be dominating the market before you know it. But the summer is not over yet! Melons, stone fruits, figs, tomatoes and eggplants are still plentiful. Get it while the gettin’s good!
Today’s purchases:
-
Cranberry beans (Dirty Girl Produce)
- Brussels sprouts (Iacopi Farms)
- Heirloom tomatoes (Ella Bella Farm)
- Blackberries (Glashoff Farms)
- Bosc pear (Frog Hollow)
- Warren pear (Frog Hollow)
- Emerald Beaut pluots (Frog Hollow)
- Sweet “cheese” pepper (Happy Quail Farms)
- Padrones (Happy Quail Farms)
- Pain epi (Acme Bread)
Cruciferous…isn’t that one of the forbidden spells that Voldemort uses on poor people like Neville’s parents? Can’t we just call those vegetables “Veggies which shall not be named”? A sunny day in Cleveland…
Ohhh Snap!!!!! Great Lycopersicum pic!!!! Yes, we’re all jealous…..
