From: Farmers-market [mailto:farmers-market-bounces+rryals=comcast.net@calists.harvard.edu] On Behalf Of Denison, Louisa Sent: Monday, August 13, 2012 5:01 PM To: Farmers-market@calists.harvard.edu Subject: [Farmers-market] Farmers' Market at Harvard Newsletter http://gallery.mailchimp.com/08419d78eda1f7d83181c3011/images/image_13448910 960271344891074.jpg Farmers' Market at Harvard Newsletter What's ripe at the market? Sugar plums, corn, cantaloupe, watermelon, cherry tomatoes, slicing heirloom tomatoes. Who's at the market? Stow Greenhouses are back with their beautiful hybrid lilies. (A fact I learned recently - cut flowers have a greater transportation impact than many other food goods; because flowers must be fresh, imported cut flowers are flown rather than trucked or boated to the U.S. That's a good reason to buy local flowers.) Ruggles Hill Creamery and Valicenti Organico are the bi-weekly vendors. What's cooking?
From 12:30-1:30, Harvest's pastry chef Brian Mercury will be serving peach cornmeal shortcake with vanilla whipped mascarpone. Stop by the chef demonstration table to taste. From 1:30-2:30, Harvard Garden interns Emelie, Becky, and Fran will be demonstrating pickling with produce from the Harvard Community Garden. Stop by the market manager table with a mason jar (they'll have a few extra) to pickle turnips and dill or okra, peppers, and onions.
Can you name the plant pictured at this email's header? Here's a hint: featured in last week's chef demonstration, this plant grows wild in backyards and is featured in many European, Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mexican dishes.
