5) Work In Volume
The best deals at the farmers market are
had when you buy in bulk. You'll enjoy
the best flavors and the best prices when
you buy lots of whatever is at its harvest
peak. How to use it all up? Try new recipes
with favorite vegetables or learn the lost
art of preserving food. Freezing, canning,
and drying are just some of the ways you
can save seasonal tastes you find at the
farmers market for later in the year.
6) Keep It Simple
You're buying ultra-fresh produce when
you shop at the farmers market, so let its
natural flavor show when you cook it. Keep
preparations simple. You'll make cooking
easier and you'll be likely to try (and eat)
even more local foods from the farmers
market next week.
