Celebrate Summer Veggies!
Crunchy and refreshing, the July harvest includes great fixings for salads and snacks to keep you cool on the hot days ahead. Think cucumbers, broccoli, radishes, zucchini and summer squash, green beans, and beets!
Sweet corn and tomatoes are also showing up at markets and farm stands and will come into their full glory in the weeks ahead. Now is the time to start planning a visit to a farm winery or a morning with friends at your local farmers' market!
