Sunday's Farmers' Market: Corn, Melons, Tomatoes All Featured

For Sunday's , corn will still be king.

Corn recently made its seasonal debut, and so did melons of the honeydew and cantaloupe varieities.

But that won't be all that's featured at the market. Beans are always in season, and Kai Fresh Asian Produce always sells them. If you're picking up green beans, the market has a recipe this week for a refeshing Mexican green bean salad.

Also featured this week are tomatoes, of which early girl and heirloom varieties should be plentiful. Vendors selling those include G&A Farms, Kai Fresh Asian Produce and Resendiz Farms.

And you can't go to the market without stopping by Aunt Kitty's Kreations out of San Francisco. Owner Kitty Myer has jams, vinegars and pickled foods that are just like, well, your aunt used to make.

The weather is expected to be a warm 70 degrees. Shoppers will find an abundance of fruits, vegetables, and flowers at the market, which runs from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.:

• Unfiltered honey, honeycomb and bee pollen from the San Mateo Beekeepers Co-Op
• Stone fruits (apricots, peaches, plums and nectarines)
• Strawberries
• Blackberries
• Artichokes
• Avocados
• Spinach
• Orchids
• Dried almonds

The San Bruno Chamber of Commerce is also sponsored a home-based business showcase. However, it will be less of a showcase and more of an intimate display of unique things you can purchase from your neighbors. One booth will be holding energy efficiency demonstrations while the other booth will be selling clothing and jewelry.

“Extra 5″ offers farmers’ market customers an extra $5 when they spend at least $10 on their CalFresh (food stamp) cards at selected farmers’ markets operated by partners at the Pacific Coast Farmers’ Market Association. The goal of this project is to encourage CalFresh recipients to take advantage of fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables.
