Strawberries on Sunday

While the rest of the country is sweltering, we can look forward to a balmy weekend, and a bounty of fresh produce and local grains at the Fairmount Neighborhood Farmers Market. SLO Farm will be selling the following items:


green beans
zucchini
fresh garlic
green cabbage
bietola
flat-leaf parsley
lettuce mix
basil
cucumbers
potatoes
(great ingredients for potato and bean salads, green salads, stir fries, and pesto)

strawberries
cherries
eggs
honey
(think waffles, or toss strawberries in a salad with greens, apples, crumbled goat cheese, and a honey vinaigrette).

If you want to enjoy sunshine and local food this weekend, think about visiting the Bite of Eugene at Alton Baker Park on Saturday to support  the Willamette Farm and Food Coalition. And be sure to visit the Fairmount Farmers Market on Sunday.
