The Farmer's Market

We urge our clients to "Think Globally, Eat Locally." Here's today's tip.

This morning our trucks were in The Redland early. Today's harvest includes sweet Strawberries and buttery Ermosa Lettuce (you may know it as Boston) from the Amish farm. Vine ripened tomatoes came from Kern Carpenter Farms.

I hope you've tried our Spring Onions in previous years. They're only available for a couple of months - a beautiful big, white, sweet onion with the top still on. They're from Pine Island Farms.

And how about Corn? It's at it's peak right now from Alger Farms in The Redland. It's so sweet you don't even need butter. However, you've got to try it our way. Parboil it, throw it on the grill for a few minutes and slather on some of Chef Jay's Chipotle Butter. You can skip the grilling step, but it certainly makes it special.

It's harvest time in The Redland. Won't you share it with us?
