Watermelon and Cantaloupe at the North City Farmers Market!
Usually I try to blog before the market happens, but I have to tell you what you missed if you didn't make it out to the North City Farmers' Market today.
Lee Farms sold ready-to-eat cantaloupe, and Chef Ivy featured it in the salsa she made on site for everyone to sample. Delicious. W. M. Farms featured watermelons the size of a piglet, and the Old North Grocery Co-op brought local peaches.
Our produce vendors featured your summer favorites - tomatoes, okra, yellow squash, zucchini, cucumbers, and more.
Don't forget that next week, August 6th, is Vegetapalooza, when we celebrate local produce, good food, and community.
