Local Food 9/17/2011

The market was very sparse this weekend thanks to both the county fair and the ridiculous amounts of rain we’ve been getting.  Many of the farmers were at the fair showing off their animals or doing other things to benefit the fair.  And, while rain is good, we’ve had so much that vegetables are exploding on the vine due to being waterlogged. 

We did come away with some kale, which I will attempt to turn into chips before I completely give up on it, a butternut squash, potatoes, quick breads, little teeny onions, peachy chutney, spiced heirloom tomato preserves, and eggs. 

The cat was already ours.  She has decided that she loves the cardboard egg crates.
