Arrrgh!!!

We have a plethora of Farmer's Markets in our area from late May to late October. Most of them carry products other than farm grown crops, and they are a delight to the senses.

Shrimp, crab, kale, pumpkins, glads, squash, lettuce, vinegars, honey, mushrooms, apples, bread, cheese, ears of dried corn, bales of straw, dried sunflower heads, the last tomatoes and corn of the year. You can make incredible meals from the bounty they sell.

I'll miss the giant garlic heads, and leeks, the tiny pickle cucumbers, the fresh green beans, and the raspberries, and the man who sharpens my knives.

We're blessed with abundance. The Farmer's Market is the best way I know to get food at it's freshest. Seven months, and they'll be back. I'll know that summer is almost upon us when the Market opens again.
