Farmer's Market -- 02 June 2019 (Acacia Day, 14th of Meadow, Year 227)

[neotoma]

Chicken empanada, garlic scapes, sunflower plants, ancho pepper plant, pink-petaled strawberry plant, lime-scented thyme plant, hardy kiwi plant, 1/2 gallon of milk, pint of chocolate milk, a dozen eggs, 3 quarts of strawberries, apple schitz, caramel skyr made from goat's milk (!), and cornmeal made from Bloody Butcher dent corn, which I'm told will turn purplish in the baking.

I was talking to one of the farmer's, and it looks like this or next might be the last week for strawberries this year, which is a fairly short season for them.

Strawberry season is about two weeks for us, our local farm is saying they should be opening for picking on the 10th. We've had SO much rain I'm surprised we'll get anything.

I'm always jealous of your farmer's market hauls! My local one doesn't have nearly that much variety, just a single row of 15 or so stalls.

Acacia Day!

That corn looks really cool; it would be fun to bake with the meal. Lime scented thyme? that sounds great. Tell me if the caramel skyr tastes as good as it sounds.
