Farmer's Market Haul: A new Wednesday feature
A new feature: on Wednesdays I will post my haul from the Farmer's Market. I'll also post my weekly garden harvest, though we're between seasons rights now so there won't be much at present. If all goes well, I'll then post the week of family menus I create based on what I bought. At the end of the week, I'll post favorite recipes, thumbs-ups and downs on meals and any other notes (such as: "didn't have time--ordered 'za"). This could be a fun interactive feature, so definitely stay tuned.
We're trying to live life more "in season" as part of greening our home, lessening our footprint and improving our health. Any tips will be taken gladly.
Here's what we took home yesterday: (*=organic)
-2 Asian pears (crunchy and delicious)*
-1 bag carrots*
-2 bunches broccoli
-1 ruby red grapefruit
-3 limes
-4 sweet onions
-4 Fuji apples*
-Snap peas*
-Acorn squash*
-Butternut squash*
-Flavor Grenade and Flavor King plums*
-French Breakfast radishes*
-Pineapple, Celebrity and unidentified cherry-sized heirloom tomatoes*
-Red grapes*
-4 ears white corn*
-Fingerling potatoes*
-1 zucchini*
-4 Persian cucumbers*
