Wow. Just wow. Every Saturday at my market is like Christmas morning. I return an empty CSA box to my
farmer and receive a full one in exchange. Each week, I open it up to find an array of veggies (and sometimes, fruit) in the most vivid colors.This week's haul contained some really great items:
- beets
- tomatoes (large and cherry) in all sorts of colors
- mini watermelon
- cucumbers and English cucumbers
- green and white peppers
- red leaf lettuce
- green lettuce
- spinach
- white string beans
- potatoes (the first of the season!)
- turnips
- zucchini

As I've said before, I supplement my CSA with purchases from the
Farmer's Market.
North Star Orchard had their first apples of the season, their nectarines and I managed to purchase the last three peaches they had! Also, their beets were HUGE, so I bought two to cook up on Saturday afternoon.

Our market also features a local bakery--
St. Peter's--that makes excellent breads, sweets and other fun foodstuffs. I picked up some rolls for this week for pulled pork sandwiches. I'll let you know later in the week how they taste.
