No lima beans?

Nope. We went up to Charlotte Hall after and they didn't have any there, either.

South of the base on 235. Home - Home Grown Farm Market (http://homegrownfarmmarket.webs.com/)

We stopped by the southern end Farmer's Market this morning and picked up some fresh beets, some homemade chocolate truffles, two kinds of strawberry jam and a package of homemade potato rolls from T&A Farm, and a white peach jam from Trossbach's Farm. Oh, and some fresh peaches from Trossbach's, too.

Oh. My. God.

Delish! :drool:

Got fresh lettuce and squash from the garden. So squash casserole tomorrow night. :yum:

Out of our personal garden, we are getting cucumbers, squash, zucchini, blueberries, and raspberries. The strawberries are already behind us.

But we are looking at sometime very soon to have some more cukes, zucchini, squash, the afore-mentioned berries, corn, green peppers, carrots, beets, potatoes, and more tomatoes than should be legal. Plus, my herb garden is positively beautiful right now....in a few weeks it'll be bursting with goodness.

:yum:

This all looks/sounds so delicous, I think I might have to go on a farmer's market crawl next Saturday morning. :lol:

Vrai, I love your woven basket/bag.

Are you going to set up a booth at the market? Your bounty of goodness last year was outstanding. :yay:

Were the tomatoes local? All I have is a little green one.

North Beach has a good one where you can sample local wines...

Welcome to North Beach, MD - Friday Night Farmers' Market and Classic Car Cruise-In (http://www.ci.north-beach.md.us/Pages/NorthBeachMD_Special%20Events/market)

Are you going to set up a booth at the market? Your bounty of goodness last year was outstanding. :yay:No, I won't set up a booth. The rental fee to set up a booth there is pretty high, from what I understand.

Besides, I'd rather just make up goodies bags and drop them off with friends. That is much more fun.

Nope. We went up to Charlotte Hall after and they didn't have any there, either.

:yum: I usually put in what I eat. Got to have my hot peppers and bell peppers, onions, tomatoes of all types, squash, lettuce and I'm trying eggplant this year. Haven't planted eggplant in a long time.

Oh, and I learned a new way to shuck corn (turn your volume down because the annoying music is LOUD):

This really works - the ears were completely clean AND parcooked, ready to cut the kernels off and freeze. A lady at the grocery store told me about it.

The kid was just asking about Trossbach's peaches. Guess I'm going down there tomorrow to get some for the ice cream I made today!

That was awesome.
Would that work with corn off the grill?

I don't see why not. We cooked some on the grill a couple weeks ago, husks and all. I didn't cut the end off like that guy but the husks and silk peeled right off. Delicious!

Girl I did a LOT of veggie/fruit prep Sunday morning and now my fridge is BURSTING with goodness. I think I may have to grill a few steaks tonight and make a huge salad... maybe some of those delicious green or wax beans too.

Oh and that BLT craving? BAD BAD right now.. just thinking of that beautiful leaf lettuce and the tomatoes sitting on my window ledge.

I say we make a Friday trek up to North Beach too! I'm all about the food (as photos will prove!)

XOXOXO

They aren't the GOOD Trossbach peaches.. I think think they grow these just so they have something to sell until their GOOD peaches come in.

No, I won't set up a booth. The rental fee to set up a booth there is pretty high, from what I understand.

Besides, I'd rather just make up goodies bags and drop them off with friends. That is much more fun.

Allow me to answer with a song...

"Why can't WE be friends? Why can't WE be friends?"

No seriously, if you ever have home grown goodies that need a home, let me know. I took Vrai a ton of herbs from my garden, and I definitely get a warm fuzzy from sharing wherever I can!

My oregano...sheesh. It is epic.

These are the early crop...they're cling peaches...the young woman at the market called them "split stone"?

Anyway, they're not huge, they're the first variety to come in. Those huge juicy freestone peaches come in in July or so don't they?

Bob, these peaches were purely sublime. They were sweet and ripe and juicy...wish I'd have gotten more of them.

Speaking of goodies - next time you make that delicious eggplant parmesan, I know someone who is really interested in trying it! I've been braggin' on your eggplant parmesano! :love:

(Or, I at least need the recipe so I can try to make it. I'm no BadGirl in the kitchen, but a girl can dream! :jet:)

Eggplant isn't ready for pickin just yet.. and we only put in three plants this year.. A LOT of rotten eggplant left on the vine last year.

Wow, really? BG hooked me up with a whole bunch of it - most got prepped for parmesan and went in the freezer. In the middle of winter I was eating eggplant parm with sauce made from tomatoes out of you all's garden. YUM!!

I wish my garden would hurry up....

Getting my first signs of [red] tomatoes, peppers, carrots, garlic, onions, eggplant, squash, cucumber, and zucchini. Had to get rid of the lettuce. It got to about 4' tall, and started to become bitter.

My basil is out of control though :killingme

Think we had 12 plants last year, and after the first month of harvest she stopped...

Once they started to produce they just wouldn't stop!

And I even brought my camera. :mad:

FM produce tip of the day:

I like to keep cucumber salad (cucumbers, onions, vinegar) in the fridge for munching and an easy dinner side. If you use pickling cukes instead of the regular ones, they stay crisper longer and have more flavor.

Today's haul: handcut bacon, scrapple, an sausage links, as well as some local cheddar cheese, some homemade raisin bread, potato rolls, and a French baguette, plus a few other things.

So far today, I've/we've made about 9 pounds of homemade sauerkraut, two loaves of banana bread, four loaves of zucchini bread, a delicious meatloaf, and made cabbage rolls for tomorrow's dinner.

I love this time of year. :biggrin:

I, love T&A farm but the breads we got today? Not very good.. Something wasn't done right, too dense.

Told BG she needs to make a sample tray to bring down next weekend to let THEM try.

kohl rouladen yum. Guten Appetit
your German is as bad as your English.

right on....:cool:

I picked up some of the cheddar from there today. It has a really nice bite to it. I also tried the corn trick tonight and it really works.

This thread makes me happy.

Biked there yesterday w my kid and wanted to buy something from everyone! We got peaches, parsnips? (though no idea what to do w them yet!) and herbs. The kid got a heavenly chock chip cookie dough cupcake from JuJu's and we got a tiny pineapple upside down cake from the farmer ladies who wisely set up by the door (they snag you first and last!).

Made pesto and peach mango salsa so far. Also tried the corn trick and made a corn salad with honey lime dressing.

Yummy day!

Yeah U Titzbobblehead.

Wow I earned two whole posts with the exact same subject, I'm impressed you know how to use an online translator.

Do I mean so much to you that you stayed online all night waiting for me to return so you could post?

Your man crush makes me uncomfortable.

You're a regular Human 8-Ball!!..... :bigwhoop:

parsnips? (though no idea what to do w them yet!)

I love parsnips and all other root veggies. Roast them in the oven, cut them up for stews - they can take the place of carrots in just about anything, including raw veggie platters.

I, love T&A farm but the breads we got today? Not very good.. Something wasn't done right, too dense.

I got a mini rye and it was heavy, too. Will go in the freezer for croutons.

I tried the parsnips as a sub for potatoes in a broccoli cheese soup recipe. Yum! Thanks for the other good ideas y'all.

Roast those parsnips! Delicious. Cube em up, toss with a little olive oil and dust with cumin.

Great on their own, or you can also do carrots this way. Seriously good eats.

Does anyone know if they sell potted herbs at the Home Grown Farmer's Market? And if not, where's a good place to buy some (besides Lowe's or Walmart)?

Green Acres (amish farm) in leonardtown? is my favorote place for herbs. I usually hit up the little famish place right off rt 5 on the left as you head north out of Ltown also.

I just got back from picking up some peaches, blackberries, a melon, and some of the most delicious sweet corn you'll ever have in your life.

Now, I'm off to make peach jam and blackberry jelly with my loot. :banana:

Funny, I went to the market for some baked goods and came home with tortilla soup, fresh potato rolls, and a jar of homemade spaghetti sauce. :jet:

Thanks, BG! :love:

I'm sorry if this was already asked but I didn't want to read the entire tread. Do they take a credit card there?

Thanks, BG! :love:

Her potato rolls are SOOOO much better than the ones at the market..

And I have not been impressed with the selection.
Why do people let a squash grow to the size of a zepplin and then try to sell it ?
There is one vendor that has fresh herbs and greens that is pretty good. The grass fed meat vendors prices are way too high.

I guess it depends on when you hit it (the market) and if you have a nearby fruit and veggie stand like we do to compare to.

Did you tell her about your NEW main squeeze(r)..

Yes, she did. Blackberry jam, anyone?
