This is what we bought:
1 pound of El Carmen coffee (grown in Acatenango, Guatemala) from Cafecito Organico
black and green olives and feta
a bag of flame raisins from Burkhardt farms. These are the most flavorful raisins I've ever tasted, and are worth the trouble of pulling off the stems as I add them to our granola.
2 dozen eggs
1 butternut squash for roasted vegetables
1 large purple sweet potato - we've been enjoying the white-colored ones as baked potatoes, this week we'll try the purple one
2 onions
2 bunches of spring onions
4 cremini mushrooms to fill our Sunday brunch omelets along with a few leaves of spinach
lacinato kale
deglet noor dates for our homemade granola
9 satsuma tangerines - so sweet and juicy that Larry loves them in his lunch every day
1 large and 4 small plain St. Benoit yogurts
1 bunch asparagus
5 grapefruit and 2 pomelos ($1 each, I can't resist)
4 pink lady apples
broccoli
At Finley farms I picked up a bag of bloomsbury spinach and a container of strawberries. They're not the gorgeous sweet berries of June, but they'll add color to our morning fruit, and I'll use a couple to decorate our brunch plates. While I was paying I noticed a box of small artichokes - small enough we can eat the whole thing - so I grabbed four - I want to try grilling them.
15 oranges for our Sunday morning juice
2 avocadoes
2 bartlett pears
10 small red potatoes
I stopped at the Flora Bella stand and filled my bag with a bunch of tender young rutabagas with greens, a bunch of baby turnips with greens, and 2 bunches of large red radishes that I really wanted for the greens. I'll make radish green soup this week. Another customer asked for the greens to be removed from his radishes, so I offered to take them. Never turn down free greens. I also bought a bunch of wild arugula to stir into rice or millet for a quick side dish.
