Phillips Farms now has Honeycrisp Apples available. The Honeycrisp’s explosively crisp texture combined with its juicy sweet-tart flavor makes it a customer favorite year after year. This may be the last week for peaches, nectarines, and melons. Blackberries are now finished, but raspberries are still in great supply (and so sweet this time of year!). Other fruits available this weekend include Asian Pears, Seedless Grapes, Gala Apples, Gingergold Apples and Zestar Apples - all perfect compliment to a cheese plate. Phillips Farms’ first apple cider of the season will also be available! 

Vegetables you will find this week at Phillips Farms include: Broccoli, arugula, Jersey tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, zucchini, carrots, kale, beets, onions, garlic and more. Coming soon: Winter Squash.

Credit cards accepted. Online ordering available at www.FellowFarmer.com. Choose Easton Farmers Market as your pickup location. $20 minimum order requested.

Cabbage Throw Farm is sad to say the last weeks of summer fruits are upon them. However more fall vegetables are returning including Hakurei turnips and baby greens. It may only be two more weeks of heirloom tomatoes so make sure to stop by the tent to get your fix for the season. It’s time to can, freeze, or enjoy fresh in one more summer salad. Green beans, eggplant, herbs, cooking greens, lettuce, spring mix and more will be available this weekend. 

Corn and Tomato Salad

Cut corn off the cob and toss with diced tomatoes, bell pepper, green olives, crumbled feta and basil. 

It's STILL SUMMER at Scholl's! Yellow freestone peaches and super sweet nectarines (they're calling them the mangoes of the Northeast!) are going strong. Plums are plentiful and delicious for baking. Try this recipe for PLUM UPSIDE DOWN CAKE! Red and yellow watermelon are super sweet and great with Feta cheese and tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic. And everybody's favorite apples are here - hello Honeycrisp! And Gala too.

On the veggie side you'll find beefsteak tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, plum tomatoes (buk available for canning), string beans, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, cukes, eggplant peppers, onions and more!.

Did you know that 80% of the cut flowers sold in the US are imported? Most of our imported flowers come from Colombia and Ecuador, but also from Holland and Canada. Since 1992, more than half of US flower farms have gone out of business due to these low-cost imports. It's tough for small businesses like Holy Cow Farm to compete with this global market, but it's thanks to shoppers like you that smaller-scale local flower farms are making a comeback in this country. When you choose to buy flowers from local farmers you are supporting your local economy, preserving local farmland, generating a smaller transportation footprint, and encouraging more sustainable growing practices. Plus, your flowers will be healthier and last longer because they haven't had to endure such a long journey to your table. Thanks for shopping local! 

Today I went on a "treasure hunt"! Time to dig the Russian fingerling potatoes. It does take some time to dig each of the plants in a 40' row. A fork is used to loosen the ground where the plant was growing; next you carefully rack the potatoes from the loosen clump of soil, pick them and place into a basket. Once in a while a potato is "stuck" by the fork. So if a small scrap is spotted on a fingering, I missed culling it! Other fingering varieties will be harvested in the next few weeks.

Grab a new batch of cow’s milk fresh feta while tomato and watermelon season is still with us. And, take some cheese curds home and find something fun to melt them on... burger, fries...
