Farmer’s Market Week 3 July 4

The farmers market this week offered a few newcomers for this year.  One stand had squash blossoms, which I passed up knowing I wouldn’t get to them for several days.  I did get some baby zucchini, however, along with some gorgeous broccoli.  I still had the beets and kohlrabi left over from last week, so I tried to play it pretty safe.  I got some cilantro and scallions which adorned by July 4th taco dip, more sugar snap peas and strawberries, which were delicious but were probably already a day past their prime by the time I got them.  I bought some lamb arm steaks from a vendor who is usually in Brookfield, but was here for one week only.  Also, I got my first eggs from Jones farm, which were the very best eggs I’ve ever had.  Gigantic, dark golden yolks with firm whites, very rich and delicious.
