Clark Park Market report, 10/25-10/27

Sunday, October 28, 2007

This has been an excellent week for me at the Clark Park farmers’ market.

On Thursday, I picked up chicken legs and ground lamb (not pictured) from Quaff Valley Farm and Royalty and Stellar apples, Hosui and Yoinashi Asian pears, and red sweet peppers (not pictured) from North Star Orchard.  On Saturday, I bought Northern Spy apples, brussels sprouts, an onion, and carrots of various colors from Keystone Farm (Rome), banana sourdough from Slow Rise Bakery (no, I’m sure the bananas aren’t local), and butternut squash and broccoli from Shenk’s Berry Farm.  I was sorely tempted by their cauliflower and romanesco, as well, but they were huge as well as beautiful—much more than I can eat by myself this week.
