t's officially summer and we are rapidly approaching peak vegetable season. Stop by and soak up the summer abundance at the Community Farmers Market this Saturday. New this week: nectarines and a limited supply of tomatoes! Looks like another cloudy, cool Saturday morning. Perfect weather for a market! Hope to see you there! Have you seen those big beautiful heads of cabbage at the market the last few weekends? They are HUGE! and perfect for making sauerkraut with. Sauerkraut is super easy to make at home, and a fun way to experiment with fermented foods if your own kitchen. Fermented foods provide valuable probiotics that help regulate gut flora that help with digestion. Are you wanting to reduce inflammation, loose weight, improve your mood, or lower your risk for cancer? Eating more fermented foods, in addition to diet and exercise, may be the answer! Grab a head of cabbage at market this weekend and try for yourself! | This week’s vendors include:
