I just got in from the farmers market and it was great! I am starting to see the beginning of summer fruits. There were 2 stands I saw that had cherries, and the woman said they hope to have cherries through Fathers Day, but the rain on Monday may have hurt their crops. Too bad, I hope the cherry season isn’t cut short! Lots of avocados, some peaches and nectarines starting to show up, apricots (although they aren’t as sweet as peak season), sugar snap peas, English peas, green beans, a few stands of tomatoes, carrots, lots of strawberries! Less winter veggies were out- barely any cauliflower, little broccoli. I picked up a basket of cherries, a 3 pack of strawberries (to make pie this weekend), peaches, a few apricots just to taste, peas…i think that was it for this week.
