So I just got back from the South of the James Market and our local farms are indeed in full swing. Vendors from places like Colonial Beach, Virginia help to provide a wide variety of produce and there is so much to choose from.
Today I walked away with...
baby red cabbages,
mix bunches of red and white onions,
red leaf lettuce,
purple Cherokee tomatoes,
large ripe red tomatoes,
a pint of some amazingly sweet orange "cherry" tomatoes,
golden zucchinis,
nice small tender yellow squash,
a five pound bag of red potatoes from "Bill's Produce"
hot sausages,
goat cheese,
green bell pepper,
white Hungarian pepper,
amazing smelling golden melon from Amy's Organics.
a bunch of green beans,
a pint of blackberries,
a quart container filled with five or six nice looking peaches From Walnut Creek Farm
a homemade "ultimate brownie" and mix of chocolate chip cookies from "Simply Delicious",
and probably something else I'm forgetting.
Other stuff I saw today....pints of fresh blueberries, quarts of fresh nectarines, carrots, tons of eggplant, Several kinds of lettuce , micro greens, eggs, honey, chickens, beef, pork, breads, broccoli rabe, cantaloupes, Asian melons, yellow tomatoes, three varieties of cucumbers, garlic, green onions, big yellow onions, kale, Swiss chard, and fresh herbs, fresh made pasta, Blanchard's coffee whole bean bags, okay I'll stop but not because I 've run out of stuff to mention. There was even someone selling $1 doggie ice cream treats made from yogurt and peanut butter with a little doggie biscuit "spoon."
