We will have lots of red, white, blue and yukon golds Saturday. Summer is officially here, as our homegrown tomatoes are starting to come in, we should have lots at the market this week red ripe and ready to eat. We will have our reds, a few heirlooms(cherokee purple, brandywines, and nyagous), grape and cherry tomatoes, and we will try to pick a box of green tomatoes for frying. Our Artichokes are coming in now, and although they are not quite as big as the ones from California they taste great and are a lot of fun to watch grow. Other items this week include Bell Peppers, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Celery Root, Cucumber, Eggplant, Garlic, Hot Peppers, Kale, Leeks, Summer Squash(pattypan, yellow and 8 ball), Sweet Peppers, Swiss Chard, Tomatillos, Zucchini, Basil, Cilantro, Parsley, Mini eggplants, and Mini Bell Peppers.
