The market takes place on the community green with music playing in the gazebo and kids running around. It is a truly lovely setting. I first made my way to the KGF stand and picked up some tomatoes, jalapenos and lettuce.
I really didn't need much since I just got my CSA on Tuesday, but you can never have too many tomatoes in my opinion.
I moseyed around and found some incredible homemade bread. There were lots of options to choose from, like sweet breakfast breads, pastries and various loafs. I picked up a loaf of anadama (a delicious cornmeal/molasses creation) and some honey oat. You really cannot find this kind of bread in the grocery store (at least not that I know of!). I would love to know how I can find this all year long, since I know that (sadly) farmer's market season is coming to a close. I'll have to do some research and get back to you on that!
Then I found an old friend selling some amazing mustards from Blackwater Mustard Co.
There were a few different kinds of craft mustards for sale, all of which available to taste. And all of which are truly delicious!! I picked up a jar of the Hot and Sweet variety. Goes great on the bread...
Finally I browsed the Warner River Organics stand. It was like the produce isle in a grocery store, so much variety.
I grabbed some eggplant, two different kinds, which I have never seen before. I am excited to try them out!
This experience reminded me that there is absolutely no reason to buy produce in a grocery store in the summer time in New Hampshire. The good stuff is all around us!
