Veggie Valet at the Market

For those of you who need a little help getting your produce and melons from the G.H.P. Smith Park Saturday market to your car at Shields and Lewes School Parking Lots we have added a Veggie Valet. Our young friends, Lilly and Henry, will help you take your purchases to your car in our carts. They are stationed at the Market at the end of the walk from the parking lots, and are happy to help you.

Burst Cherry Tomato Pasta
1 pound pasta (spaghetti works just fine!)
Kosher salt
½ cup olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 pints cherry tomatoes
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pinch of sugar
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12" skillet or wide heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, then cherry tomatoes, pepper, sugar, pepper and one teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes burst and release their juices to form a sauce, in 6 to 8 minutes. Toss pasta with cherry tomato sauce and basil. Top with Parmesan and enjoy!

What's So Special about the Historic Lewes Farmers Market?
Summertime!
|
Every season has its special foods and flowers but nothing beats the start of summertime bounty! Sweet corn and tomatoes, fragrant basil and mint, cucumbers, fresh snap beans, berries, peaches and soon melons-all the bounty that our Delmarva region has to offer! Yes, your market bags are heavier and you need to bring more of them, but summertime foods are so easy to prepare and share! See you at markets!

The bike has a dual groove spring comfort cruise seat, black with white piping. There's a basket so you can bring home all the fresh market produce and a matching bird bell to alert everyone that you have arrived at market! Tickets for the raffle are free and the winner will be drawn on Labor Day weekend. To enter the contest, all you need to do is fill out a ticket (also allows you to get this weekly newsletter) at the HLFM Information Tent. Every Saturday you come to market, you can fill out a ticket so shopping weekly makes your chances of winning better!
