Last week was a perfect example of why we love the farmers’ market. We are lucky to have vendors serving up wonderful prepared foods and quality products. Walking along the tables, it is so easy to be tempted by all the fruits and vegetables, still dew-covered from the field, and debate what tasty meals to prepare using it all! When you include flavorful locally made meats, cheeses and wine, oh! the culinary adventures!
