Hi BFM fans,

Ok, now we know it is summer because Garner has the first corn and field tomatoes and Reid has the first peaches -- Rich May yellow peaches.  But if you want a bowl of cherries, Reid has 4 choices: white sweet cherries, Royal Anne bicolor sweet cherries, Bing sweet cherries

It is going to hot this week, so we should all make ice cream sandwiches with Whisked cookies and our favorite ice creams..  have you seen this little video of what to do with their new creamsicle cookie and ice cream?

Damien has Blackberry tart, Multi fruit tart and apple tart at Panorama.

Here is a sample of what we will have at market:

REID'S:Peaches! Blueberries! Strawberries! Cherries!  Hinnonmaki Red Gooseberries. Snow peas,yellow squash, cucumbers, suar snap peas, English Hull peas, zucchini, Kiki Fuji Apples. 

 

Kathy says: "Yellow lugs as they come in from the fields..Hand sorted in our Food Safety Modernizaction Act approved packing boxes by folks wearing gloves..Then they get boxed up in quarts or pints to travel to market..We work hard to bring the best to you."

Next week: Apricots, rasperries, Lodi June apples, currants.

GARNERS PRODUCE: Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, various green peppers. and some hot ones too.All the different eggplant and the summer squash are begging to be sliced thin and quickly grilled, bunches of basil for the field grown tomatoes, and new potatoes, English peas, sugar snaps,.
