So the weather forecast is less than farmers market stellar ... what to do? COME TO THE MARKET! We will not be deterred by the clouds. Nay, we'll be out there with totally awesome vegetables no matter the weather! And it's that time of year when the produce is so DIVERSE and DELICIOUS that you really don't want to miss it.
Heirloom tomatoes just picked off the vine -- Bill has too many varieties to name! Be sure not to miss the first week of the brandywines, striped German, and more.
Cucumbers and Onions -- sounds like we making gazpacho at this point! Have you discovered the joy of gazpacho? Tomatoes, cukes, onions, and whatever else you like! We always add croutons from the Garlic Press Market Cafe! We also LOVE to make a quick cucumber salad with a tatziki sauce -- thinly sliced cukes in a dressing of strained yogurt, onion, garlic, and white wine vinegar with a dash of salt and pepper. Toss in some fresh dill or mint if possible!
Awesome lettuces -- Bill grows varieties that don't get bitter in the summer heat. It takes a very special farmer to do this (in my unbiased opinion!).
Carrots -- to die for! These are so crisp and sweet that they'll be eaten up before you know it!
Potatoes -- get in on the new potatoes before they get ... older! They're great all season, but there is something extra special about the newbies.
And all the rest of the amazing greens! This could be your week to try swiss chard, kale, collards, or some other tasty green heretofor missing from your diet.
We REALLY hope to see you tomorrow, rain or shine! Come join us under our rain-free tent!

p.s. WE HARVESTED ALL OF THE GARLIC YESTERDAY! We had an amazing crew of volunteer harvesters who helped bring it in from the field in one day. To Liz, Timothy, Kevin, Jeff, and our loyal farmhands -- THANKS!
