The Recessional has begun, but there's still plenty of good stuff in the Gmarket!

Although the recessional continues and there are fewer heirloom tomatoes and other summer produce, there are still many great vegetables available. Mountain Sweet Berry has delicious Canistorio heirloom tomatoes, pea shoots, sucrine lettuce, and fennel pollen. Eckerton has boxes of mixed small heirloom tomatoes and flavorful hot peppers, and Paffenroth has their usual wide variety of produce, but less.

Sycamore has a new crop of corn as well as sweet peppers, heirloom tomatoes, and broccoli. Cherry Lane has lima beans, fairytale eggplants, string beans, tomatoes, and other vegetables. Oak Grove has heirloom tomatoes, many kinds of large and small hot peppers, sweet peppers, and herbs. Miglorelli has alot of beets, greens, and other produce. Evolutionary has greens, turnips, and heirloom tomatoes.

Locust Grove has raspberries and apples. I also got a lovely hit of fresh apple smell from the Oak Grove area and Breezy Hill has apples and pears that look scrumptious. Honey Hollow has porcinis, chanterelles, sweet clubs, saffron caps, and birch boletes.

It's time to start thinking about picking up some Rocambole garlic for the winter from Keith and various tomatoes from all around the market for the freezer! And if you're looking for something sweet to have with cheese, try Beth's Jam's fig jam!
