One of the great benefits of living in DC are all the unexpected adventures. The opening of a farmers’ market two block from my office ends up being a press event with First Lady Michelle Obama, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack and DC Mayor Adrian Fenty showing up…along with plenty of metal detectors and trench-coated Secret [...]

During the winter months our local farmer’s market shuts down. Star Hollow Farm, however, still has CSA pickup and some basics like their farm fresh eggs. The eggs they have are amazing and so much better than anything you can get in the stores, including fancy Whole Foods eggs. The eggs I get from them do [...]

I had a good haul from the farmers’ market a couple of weeks ago, but I have been pretty lazy about getting the photos online. I should really work on streamlining the process so things don’t sit around. Anyhow, without further ado, I present…Farmers’ Market! Tri-Colored Carrots Garlic Greens Garlic Scapes

Our farmers’ market is finally back in full swing. Right now it is mostly young greens and root vegetables, but they also have some hot house tomatoes that beat the cardboard versions we were getting from Safeway. Purple Scallions – Deep Purple Bunching (I think)

I just got these wonderful beets from the local farmer’s market. They were fresh out of the ground and still had the greens attached and a little dirt on them. We roasted them and they were good!

Good haul from the Farmer’s market… again! I don’t know what we will do in the winter. There is a chance we will start to get sick of having a wide variety of fresh tomatoes and squash almost at our doorstep, but I don’t see it happening anytime soon.

Being able to walk out the door and around the corner to get to my local market has been a real treat. It is always a bit of an adventure, you are never quite sure what will be peaking. This week the tomatoes were king. One farm was quoting that 10 different types were available. Organic [...]

A fun trip to the beach prevented me from making it the Adams Morgan Farmers’ Market (is it Farmers’ or Farmer’s?, anyhow…). I was back with a vengeance this Saturday though. Tomatoes are definitely hitting full stride. The heirloom were finally peaking, and man are they good. I also got a pint of cherry and [...]

I try to go to my local Farmer’s Market in Adams Morgan every Saturday, but plans always seem to get in the way. I was lucky, and made it this week. Things are definitely starting to shape up. There was a lot less squash and a lot more tomatoes. I got a bunch of [...]

I good stuff last week at the farmers market. Looks like squash and cucumbers are starting to come strong with lots of fun varieties. Yellow Crookneck Squash Green Pattypan Squash Yellow Pattypan Squash Miniature white cucumbers Kirby Cucumbers
