Someone asked about the Mid-Town Farmers Market today.
I got Brown’s Family Farm Milk, and it met expectations, which were quite high. $4 a half gallon, with a $1 deposit on a glass jar. I’m using a fat separator to make it skim, and may experiment with making creme fraiche out of the cream that I pull of it later on. But on to what else was available…
I came home with some of the most beautiful Bost tomatoes, and will be making a past/toasted breadcrumb/tomato/garlic/herbs salad this week. Already had BLT’s today.
Probably the biggest news: Got some fresh okra from one grower (the Bosts had a crop failure due to rain!?!). Also: cucmbers, peaches, blueberries, Parmesan bread, shitake mushrooms, eggs, corn on the cob, yellow tomatoes, multi-colored cherry tomatoes and I’m not sure what else.
The Bosts said that they were between fields on Cantaloupes, and there would be more Wednesday (phew!).

We’re going thru Billy Ray’s milk like Ed Peters thru a courthouse. That stuff is mahvelus.
