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!

Cooking in June is all about letting fresh flavors shine. To help you make the most of it, I’ve pulled together a few plant-forward recipes that highlight what’s growing now.

Recipe: Sarah's Strawberry Sauce

Strawberry overload? Make this easy sauce and drizzle it over everything from pancakes to parfaits.

Recipe: Strawberry Spinach Salad

The easiest way to eat more greens: Toss up this sweet and savory strawberry spinach salad in under 10 minutes.

Recipe: Plant-Forward Yakisoba Noodles

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.
