Farmer's Market -- 06 July 2019 (Sweet Pea Day, 18th of Harvest, Year 227)

[neotoma]

Black and red raspberries, sweet cherries, tart cherries, blueberries, donut nectarines, apricots, red-fleshed plums, baby summer squash, plum and cherry tomatoes, hen-of-the-woods mushrooms, pita bread, eggplant spread, seasonal mushroom and onion handpie, apple handpie, almond cake, strudel, microgreens.

Picked up a black-eyed susan plant from the Master Gardners booth (part of the Maryland Agricultural Extension -- what your government does for you!) as they were giving away free pollinator plants, and I already have enough milkweeds.

One of the stands said they might have wineberries next week.

hen-of-the-woods mushrooms
Everything you nabbed sounds absolutely amazing, but none more than these mushrooms. WOW. <333

There's a local mushroom grower who comes to the market -- they always have shiitake and brown oysters, and usually have lion's mane, hen-of-the-woods, golden oysters, and pioppini.

They used to have pink oysters, but apparently they're the most delicate and most of the crop had to be dried because they wouldn't last until the next market day -- they tasted somewhat like ham when sauteed and stuffed into omelets.
