Our local market starts in April and strawberries show up towards the end of May. From then on, my favorites are whatever catches my eye.
Right now, it's tomatoes of every color and kind and stone fruit. Apricots are gone, but peaches and plums? Oh my!
This summer, a new vendor brought in mushroom grow bags. I grew three flushes of pink oyster mushrooms on the kitchen counter. So much fun and really delicious. Wish I could share a photo.
August is my favorite month, when peaches, berries, corn and tomatoes are abundant. Our farmers market in the Seattle area is open from May through September and each month brings something to indulge in, whether mounds of fresh asparagus or fresh peas or piles of crisp apples and pears. We have a standing appointment there early Saturday morning whenever we are in town!
What beautiful squash blossoms! Those are a prized market find for me! I love to stuff them with goat cheese and fry them. We are enjoying beautiful eggplants and tomatoes in our markets. Time for a pasta with eggplant and fresh tomato sauce.
On my recent visit to the market I purchased Swiss Chard. My mother always made this vegetable. Simply sauteed in a little evoo and garlic, it's sweet and savory. I also like buying celery, radishes and summer squash. There is nothing like fresh vegetables and fruit straight from the garden.
We never know how long the items have been in the supermarkets. Off season it's okay but during Summer and early Fall, Farmer's Markets are the way to go.
Such happy pictures to share with the new folks. I love looking back at the ones I took when we visited the market before class. Late summer for me and oh those tomatoes and eggplant!
A mid morning visit to the big market or a quick stop at our small market early on Saturdays. Melons and eggplant are usually at the top of my list.
Two of my favorite things to buy at the market are spring radishes and sweet, crunchy peas.
Love it when Borlotti beans are fresh and in the market
So jealous. We do get favas from one vendor, though.
Lived in Tuscany for 2 years, then Lombardia for 15
Bellissimo ! Cuore di bue pomodori are my fave 🍎
YaY! 😀 Love the surprise Postcards !
Meloni 🍉 👍🏻
I am so excited to go to this market when we visit in October! I will be snapping my own pictures of all the fresh goodness! I have missed your posts
October is a great month for a market visit!
