Information provided by Leslie Hendricks and Kris Frey, co-founders of Golden Valley's Market in the Valley Farmers Market:
Well, it's always been about the veggies, but at this time of year the farmer's tables are overflowing with colors and flavors! Now is the time to get a little more adventurous with our market shopping choices and try some of the new and often strange vegetables.
With only five weeks left in our market season, let's live on the edge a bit and try at least one new veggie each week. Pick something that intrigues you, find out from the farmer what it is along with their cooking recommendations, go on-line, find a simple recipe, and the go for it!!
