August at the Farmer's Market
Filed in archive From Garden to Table , Shopping on August 16, 2008
In mid August the farmer's markets are absolutely bursting with vibrant, gorgeous color!
Last week at our local, Tuesday morning market I filled my straw bag with prunes reine-claudes also called greengage plums, white nectarines, blueberries and peaches. I didn't bother to buy blackberries as they grow in our village so I can go out and pick them for free. Raspberries, melons and grapes are also in abundance.
Tomatoes of every size are literally overflowing and there are several varieties of eggplant available. I found piles of dark green, round zucchini and yellow summer squash as well as perfectly snappy green beans. Cucumber, beets, Napa cabbage and little potatoes are in season, as is sweet corn.
Have you been shopping at your local farmer's market this summer?
