Celebrate Summer's Bounty
"Summer is delicious.."
-John Ruskin
In early July we celebrated EFM's 266th year in Centre Square and last week we celebrated the ubiquitous zucchini -- and even though this Saturday is not an event day at EFM, we are still celebrating as this is the time of year that we find many of our favorites at the market -- sweet corn, tomatoes, peaches, beans, and, yes, even zucchini -- that make our taste buds pop with the taste of summer.
So come celebrate this Saturday in Centre Square!! You don't have to wear your party hat, but make sure you bring plenty of market bags to fill them with the bounty that our farmers and producers bring ro EFM in the summer. It only lasts for a few months -- so savor the freshness now.

Comeback Farm
Certified Organic
|
Donuts are always delicious but they can also be a health food when they're organic donut peaches, and Comeback Farm has plenty. They also have yellow and white peaches and a few nectarines. Blueberry and blackberry season is coming to a close, but there are still some freshly picked organic berries from Rosedale Blueberry Farm. Also available is no-sugar added organic apple, peach, and pear butter -- another delicious and healthy choice.

Richard has been growing Sweet Success cucumbers for the past several years. It is a truly seedless, burpless slicing cucumber and an All American Selections award winner. These nearly 14-inch fruits will weigh a pound or more and are very flavorful, free of bitterness, with thin skin. Give Sweet Success a try and no doubt you will agree it is superb! The Backyard Growers will still have blueberries this week but quantities are limited! And check out the clivia in bloom! "Babies" for sale starting at $15.00!!

Local chanterelles are in the spotlight this week at Primordia. This delicious golden wild mushroom is also known as the “Queen of the Forest,” and some say is unsurpassed in flavor, fragrance and texture.

Breakaway Farms
Well... we can’t say if it will be a good weekend for grilling or not, but Breakaway Farms has you covered for all kinds of weather. So just in case ... think about recipes for Dutch ovens, such as wine-braised grass-fed beef short ribs, pastured pork belly, or pastured chicken thighs. But then it might be good grillin' weather too this weekend, so don't forget the steaks, ribs, sausages and burgers for when the sun shines!
