Things are really heating up outside and also at the Farmers Market. We will start seeing the first tomatoes at the market this week. Did you know that tomato pigments, lycopene and carotene, are not produced above 85 degrees. Tomatoes will ripen, they will just not be as red. They will be more pink. When it is super hot outside, pick them when they are about half red and allow them to ripen to a full red inside. They will look and taste wonderful.
What you may find at the Farmers Market this week. Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, Red, All Blue, and Yukon Gold Potatoes, Onions, Cucumbers, Peas, Beets, Cabbage, Peppers Eggs, Breads, Zucchini, Squash, Jams and Jellies, Buffalo Meat, Cherries, and much, much more!
We hope to see you there. Bring a friend with you! Next week we will have tomatoes for all those July 4th cookouts!
