Strawberries Have Arrived!

June at the Farmers Market

Strawberries are at their peak, juicy, sweet, and abundant.

You'll also find a vibrant array of produce: spring onions, garlic scapes, beets, turnips, radishes, and a variety of salad greens.

It's the perfect time to enjoy the freshest flavors of the season.

New Month, New Cravings, Let’s Get Into It!

Smart Seasonal Tips for June

Make the Most of Market Veggies With This Simple Trick:​
​Quick-pickle everything!

Looking to add a tangy crunch to your meals? Quick-pickling is an easy way to transform fresh vegetables into zesty accompaniments.

Slice radishes, turnips, or onions thinly and let them sit in a brine of vinegar, water, salt, and a touch of honey or maple syrup for 15–30 minutes.

These quick pickles are perfect for topping salads, grain bowls, sandwiches, or serving alongside grilled dishes. It's a simple technique that elevates your meals with minimal effort.
