Musings On The First Forest Park Farmer’s Market

The weather was a bit spotty with some rain here and there, but it seems people weren’t terribly deterred by that, and for that I’m glad. I got there around 6 and I saw some good looking produce whilst I wandered. I bought some rhubarb for jam, some strawberries from Hardin Family Farm in Eau Claire, MI, a chocolate chai cake, and some salmon. The rhubarb and strawberries may go in some strawberry rhubarb jelly, if my friend Trase at Serenity Acres posts the recipe. Hint, hint, Trase! 😉

I also saw some plants there for sale at the Forest Park Community Garden booth. I may get some of those if they’re there next time.

Did any of you go? What did you buy? What will you make with what you bought? If you’re not local or didn’t go, what have you made lately with your farmer’s market purchases or your fresh garden pickings?
