Galax Farmers Market June 19 & 20

It's incredible to me that despite weather conditions and other unpredictable events, our guys
and gals show up every week- usually bringing something new or different from the week before.  It's our third week of the market season and this is what you can expect to find:

APPLES!  Lodi- only a 'couple bushels', so come tomorrow if you can.

Cabbage- Cana-grown, fresh and a bargain price

Honey- the year's first harvest.  If you want pure wildflower honey
without any water added (like most commercial honey has), Mr. Guynn is
your source.  I learned my lesson about stocking up after this past
winter of going without!

Squash- yellow and zucchini, a few vendors will have a selection this week.

Eggs- free range from chickens that eat bugs and grass

Lettuce- several different varieties, shapes, and colors

Broccoli Greens- the most nutritious green you can eat; beautiful dark
color and tasty too

Sugar Snaps and Snow Peas- get there early- Dave sells out every weekend

Onions- fresh red and white with greens included

Beets- baby and full size

Arugula- mix in with lettuce for a nice change, or eat plain if you're
a die-hard fan

Parsley and Dill- fresh herbs make most things taste better.  Not ice
cream, but ask me for good ideas!

Stir Fry Greens- multicolored chard and senposai this week, limited quantities

Cucumbers!  a first for this year- they are coming from a new vendor
in Elkin.  Consider a cucumber-dill quick pickle with your dinners
this week.

I can't believe how lucky I am to live in a place with so much fresh
food around.  Granted, I think about food maybe more often than the
average American, but each week I look at everyone's display and
marvel at the variety and quality.  Beans, potatoes, basil, and
tomatoes are still to come- stay tuned!  The MGs are returning with
plants for sale this weekend- both days- and don't forget to bring
your gardening questions for Sara Byrne!

Friday 8-1  Saturday 9-1, corner of Main and Washington streets, downtown Galax
Thank you for reading and we'll see you tomorrow or Saturday!
