Today we went to the farmers market in Summit, NJ. There were lots of local famers and other home-made goodies - you will be surprised with what you may find! We came home with wine, mini-pumpkins, gords, flowers, honey, peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes. Farmers and local businesses were also selling home-made candles, blankets, baked goods, sauces, and lots of vegetables, fresh seafood, poultry, and mums.
Here's what we are planning on doing with our purchases...
We used the peppers in the tuna salad we'll have for lunch during the week (recipe will be up later).
Tom uses honey in tea for sweetening, and using local honey is even better!
Tonight, we'll grill the zucchini in olive oil and garlic for a great vegetable side dish.
We can't wait to try the wine out with dinner tonight! And the flowers, pumkins, and gords make a great autum center piece on our dining room table.
You can use the app we recommended, Locavore, to find a farmers market near you.
Any great farmers markets in your area?
Good read
