Farmers' Markets

July at the Falmouth Farmers Market: For all your garlic-lovers, scape season is coming to an end, but garlic bulbs may appear ahead of schedule-it's been that kind of year. E&T Farms already had bulbs of softneck garlic at the end of June and hard-necks aren't that far behind. Carrie Richter at Peachtree Circle Farms was reporting garlic plant "downers" at the end of June, suggesting bulbs would be ready in July. Besides a large variety of hardneck garlic, she's growing Elephant garlic this year. We're seeing plenty of zukes, cukes and summer squashes. High-tunnel and hothouse tomatoes will be giving way to field tomatoes, cherries first. Corn's just around the corner. On the artisanal front: Fromage � Trois is back with its hand-made mozzarella, string cheese, and beautiful burrata, plus green fettucine made from local pea-tendrils and other one-of-a-kind pastas. Green Briar Jam Kitchen has new sun-cooked fruits to taste, including sun-cooked blueberries in vodka. Rein's Real Rye will test-drive a new Swedish rye with golden raisins, cardamom, fennel and orange peel. And Pies � la Mode is back with its classic pies and comfort foods. More info, plus recipes, on falmouthfarmersmarket.org, and latest news on Facebook.
