seasonal produce
I love eating fresh produce from local farmers and you have to get to market early in the morning to buy the very best. I really enjoy taking my time in the morning and find it to be a struggle to be at market bright and early but I am trying. We have such a vibrant scene happening at our market and it is a joy to linger for hours talking with farmers and friends, I can’t think of a better way to spend Saturday morning. This is a motivation to get up and out the door.
Our community does a market each Tuesday also. These are starting next week and I am excited. The location has moved, it is at the Bloomingfoods Near West Side store and I can’t think of a happier match. I can buy my produce and then run into the grocery to pick up the rest of my meal. I will be sure to keep this updated with details of my cooking adventures.
I found a lovely little map of seasonal produce offerings on Epicurious. I like being able to plan my dinners around the produce I will find at market and this is a fun reference.
