I wanted to briefly mention the photo that accompanied this morning’s post:
Yesterday while shopping for local strawberries and South Carolina peaches at a local farm market (Simmons Farm in Peters Township), I noticed a display of recently picked vegetables for sale. What do you get for ten bucks?
- Seven ears of corn.
- A large yellow squash and a large zucchini.
- A really nice head of broccoli.
- Two deep red and large tomatoes.
- A heaping bunch of green beens.
- A dozen small cucumbers.
- A large bunch of red chard.
Wow! All fresh and all local. And all will be devoured by my family (along with the amazing strawberries and peaches) by week’s end!
I was told that similar boxes of fresh veggies will be available daily at the farm market through the summer.
Now I need a recipe for chard. Any ideas?
