IN SEASON FRUITS AND VEGETABLES TASTE BETTER
AND ARE HIGHER IN NUTRIENTS
As our farmers' markets begin to open for the season, we encourage our consumers to come out and shop for the freshest produce available in June. And here is why: In season fruits and vegetables that are ripened on the vine and harvested or picked a day before coming to market are fresher, taste better, sweeter and  are high in vitamins and fiber. These crops do not travel long distances they come directly from the farm to the Farm stand at the market. 

Keep a look out for these fruits and vegetables that will be available when you come out to shop.

  • Asparagus, Beets, Beet greens, Broccoli, Cabbage, Garlic, Herbs, Lettuce, Mustard greens.

  • Onions, Peas, Potatoes, Radish, Rhubarb, Spinach, Summer Squash, Swiss chard, Tomatoes.

  • Turnip Greens, Zucchini.

  • Apples, Sweet Cherries, Peaches, Plums, Strawberries. 

SOCIAL DISTANCING :

In order to ensure your safety and that of our staff and farmers here is an example of what social distance will look like.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 medium-sized yellow summer squash

  • Garlic salt & freshly ground black pepper

  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

PREPARATION:

  • Place an oven rack in the center position of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil (lightly misted with nonstick cooking spray) or parchment paper.

  • Wash and dry the squash, and then cut each one into ¼-inch thick slices. Arrange the squash rounds on the prepared pan, with little to no space between them. Lightly sprinkle the squash with garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper. Use a small spoon to spread a thin layer of Parmesan cheese on each slice of squash.

  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the Parmesan melts and turns a light golden brown. (Watch these closely the first time you make them and pull them out of the oven early if the Parmesan is golden before 15 minutes. Alternatively, you may broil them for a minute or two at the end of the cooking time to speed up the browning.) Serve immediately.
